winter outings

Amidst all the Christmas preparations -baking, shopping, wrapping, gifting- we still found the time to go on some family outings in the cold, festive month of December...

These were taken on a trip to the zoo in December.

Clearly the penguins, the snow leopard and the arctic owl didn't seem to mind the cold one tiny bit!


We just wrapped up warm and drank hot drinks to keep ourselves going :)
... oh and played in the playgrounds, of course. Nothing like movement to warm little bodies up!




The orang-utan sat cosily under this heater inside his house.


Lorcan was very impressed!


They had a nice little tête-à-tête!

And these next shots were taken in Howth in December. We went to get our last-minute Christmas seafood shopping in and the kids were delighted to find there was a little Christmas funfair (and ice rink) set up on the seafront!
