Picnic anyone?
Back in May we had a really great day out at the Soul Picnic in Merrion Square, which is part of the Dublin City Soul Festival (next year's links are up already!).
We set up our spot before the concerts began and chilled out and had some snacks.
It was a glorious early summer's day.... and the crowds got bigger and bigger...
The great thing about these outdoor summer gigs is you can go right up front and bop with the bands by the stage, or you can just chill out on the grass with your book... and enjoy the atmosphere :)
There's plenty of space in Merrion Square, so when we weren't watching the open-air gigs, we were playing around on the grass ;)
And making friends!
Isn't it amazing how quickly kids make new friends and bond?!
A special shout out to Jon, Janel, Lennan, Finn our new and dear friends whom we met that day... and to Vincenza, Giovanni and Anna-Livia, who our yummy friend Niamh introduced us to that day too!
To the boys' sheer delight, we had a yummy ice-cream after our picnic lunch...
And then later, Granddad turned up too! Yay! Lorcan got a little carried away and climbed all over him...
But we compensated him with some wine from our "bota":
:P
All in all, another great day.
