Trip to Ireland

What a fine pair.... and the kids aren't bad either. Amie and Noah get to meet Molly Malone in Dublin's Fair City. Her boobs are shiny because it's customery to give them a rub for luck (apparently).

Amie driving the boat on the Viking Splash Tour. http://www.vikingsplash.ie/. Would definately recommend it, was very informative and great fun. We got to 'be Vikings' and ROOOOAAARRRR at unsuspecting passersby.

Noah got a go too. The children also got called into the cockpit of the airplane when we were flying back to England. So some future career prospects there (though Noah still just wants to be a man when he grows up...I'm all for aiming for achievable goals, but sometimes it's good to stretch yourself).

Ah... Summer in Ireland

But where you have rain you sometimes get rainbows. This picture isn't great as it was taken from the car on the motorway, but it was a complete rainbow... the first I've seen in years.

Feeding the ducks by the canal, Noah almost thowing himself in each time he chucks bread in.

Aw isnt' it cute

Hightlight of Amie's holiday was getting to walk Grandad's dog.


Trunki's were really handy, great that the kids have to carry their own luggage.

Was this their first visit to Ireland? Looks like you had a good time. Brandon has a uni friend who lives in Dublin and he also recently posted a photo of a complete rainbow; I think it was the same one!

Hey Marie,

No the kids were there last 'Summer', and possibly the one before that... and I do remember we took Amie there when she was 4 months old and travelled over the the Aran Islands with her, which are right over off the West coast... trying to keep them in touch with their roots..... thikn a trip to Haarlem MUST be on the cards for next year as it's been over 3 years since the kids were there.

Ah, for some reason I thought you had mentioned that they hadn't been. I vote for a trip to Haarlem soon! =)
