Although the weather has been miserable here for a week or so now, earlier this month we had some really nice hot summer weather... and, fortunately, we made the most of it! Here are some photos of a day at Brittas Bay.
We brought a lovely picnic and some toys to play in the sand... and the water!
Look out Baywatch! 
Taking a breather...
With Lorcan on the front seat of Mummy's bike, Malachy on the back seat of Daddy's, and Liam cycling all on his own... we love going out all together on our bikes!!
snacking and playing.

A couple of weeks ago, Liam had his last class at music school for this year. He has now completed the "Children's World of Music" 2-year introduction course. He learned a lot of things: the families of the orchestra, the instruments in each family, the different styles of music, tempos, reading musical notes and symbols, etc. And he had an introduction to playing the piano, the recorder and the violin.
We all went to his recital to cheer him on...
Afterwards we went to celebrate... in the form of hot chocolate and mini-muffins!! Mmmm
And the baby elephants are a huge hit too!
Over at the City Farm, this cow wanted to get "up close and personal" with our camera!!!
"The wishing chair": No prizes for guessing what Liam's doing!
Malachy made a wish too.
I hope their wishes came true :)
Malachy has gone for a different option. He as a cool little two-wheeler bike with no pedals! He whooshes along, propelling himself with his feet. He's a little flier!
hiiii!
our tree in all its glory
