We had arranged to meet Maite, Juanra and Leire the following day (Saturday) in Wexford town. They were travelling up from Cork, where they had stayed the night before. They were very unlucky with the weather the whole time they were here: rain, rain and more rain...
Wexford harbour in the rain... Malachy in his yellow fisherman's raincoat fitted right in!
Trawlers.
After our little rainswept walk around the port, we accidentally fell upon a kid's festival that was going on in a marquis on the seafront. Unfortunately, due to the rain all the outdoor activities were cancelled. No matter, we had great fun laughing at these giants and their silly music...
... listening to this friendly storyteller telling old celtic tales,
... watching the puppet shows,
...and having our faces painted :)
Later all 8 of us went back to the rented holiday bungalow in Cullaloe and took a walk on Ballinesker beach. It was nice for the kids to hang out the next morning with their aunt and uncle...
and their cousin Leire.

Next stop: the Irish Heritage Park. Stay tuned.
On Liam's last day of school before the summer holidays, we picked him up at hometime and whisked ourselves straight off down to Wexford :)
You make your way to a nice big, green park on a nice bright day. You sit yourself down at a picnic table with you mummy and your brother and you eat your afternoon snack of fruit to get your jumping energies charged up.
This last one's my favourite. Liam in mid air and Malachy looking all sheepish :)
