Castleknock and Portmarnock

The Thursday night before we left Phyllis and Paul invited us over for dinner (a very tasty curry) and to hang out for a bit. The kids had a great time on the trampoline in the back garden and playing various sports in the green next door. James got dressed up and Liam and Miles carried him around a bit!

Then the next night Paddy and Kathleen hosted a dinner for all at their place in Portmarnock (we got very spoiled!) Barry and Frankie, and Phyllis, Paul, Isabelle, Issac and James all came over, and we had quite a feast of poached salmon, salads, potatoes, and more!

Liam offered to lead a science experiment with a chemistry set.

Robert and Issac led the way in high energy sporting activities in the back garden!

We had several lovely desserts, including this plate of strawberries and marshmallows.

I’ll stop with all the descriptions there and let you enjoy the photos of everyone enjoying themselves. Thanks to Frankie and Barry for many of the photos! And thanks to everyone for such a lovely holiday, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and can’t wait to come back!
