meeting up with Mariona and Co.

Time is of the essence. So, what are the essential things for us to do in Barcelona? Meet with friends, of course!

Lorcan is a little shy at first (he was only 3 months when we left our Casc Antic home so he doesn't know our Catalan friends so well)... But he got the gist of it soon enough ;)

We met up with the whole "Mariona" family: mum Ana, dad Albert and aunties and uncles included, at the La Campana ice-cream parlour terraza (behind the Picasso Museum) for coffee, ice-cream and fun.

Alert! Warning! Abundant cuteness coming up...

Malachy hugs Georgina... awww

Grown-ups catching up...

Spontaneous crafting absorbing little minds...

Um, we're still hiding behind Daddy...

Starring marvellously magical Malachy Jambrina...

And his brilliant brother Liam!

Budding football stars.

Mariona, Georgina and their cute cousin.

Georgina escapes...

Lorcan seeks refreshment...

Not hiding behind Daddy now. Look who came out of his shell for Albert!

The final shots at the end of the day...

Best friends :)
