On our way to "the African Plains"...

Primates in the distance...

Liam goofing around on the slide!

Lorcan snuggling with Daddy

Malachy oblivious to the world (for a while)...

And this one's for you Granddad! We spotted you straight away ;)

these guys like their water alright

and these guys were so docile.

the education centre displays fossils, skins, bones and other (slightly creepy) educational tidbits for the visitors to see and touch...

pier and park

We don't mind going out after it rains. Puddles are fun and rain droplets on the flowers in our garden are so very pretty...

Strolling down through Herbert Park in Dun Laoghaire...

Past the railway...

To the pier...!

Told you puddles were fun :)

If you zoom in here, you can actually see the splash frozen in mid-air!

Dun Laoghaire pier, where the 'mail boat' comes in.

There are two yacht clubs and many, many happy sailing folk.

This one's for Nora!

The deep blue sea...

This is the sea inside the pier...

And this is the choppy water outside...!

Reaching the lighthouse...

Watching the yachts sailing in the distance...

And taking umpteen photos of Liam while Malachy slept his nap...

The kid is such a poser!!

:)
Mummy jumps in too...

Awwww...
Heading back down the pier...
Resting. We're almost there.

The for the People's Park playground!

Nap's over!
Cuteness abounds

Exploring...

Looking all laid back...

And, yes... cute!
Amongst the autumn leaves.
