We stayed with Uncle Nick, Aunt Aine and cousins Aoife and Dan. Declan had so much fun at the house- rough housing in the living room with his cousins and playing with Bonnie the dog, jumping on the trampoline, kicking and throwing the soccer ball around and going for buggy rides.

One of the first evenings in Ireland, Declan's cousins Dan and Padraic had a Gaelic Football game. Declan enjoyed being amongst the football stars and running around on the pitch.

We spent a day in Carlow town at Ranch O'Reily's with cousins Evin, Eve, Isabelle, Cara, Eammon, Fina and Manus. It's a fantastic outdoor farm/petting zoo with tractor rides, obstacle courses, big wheel car race track and playground area. Declan enjoyed it all from feeding goats to jumping on trampolines and muddy tractor rides!

We spent a beautiful day at the beach in Curracloe. It was a gorgeous Irish day-chilly and breezy. The only time I had ever been to a beach where we put on more clothes once we arrived
Ireland came and went all too fast. It was so good to be home on the farm and to see everyone in such great form. Declan had a blast with his cousins, exploring the farm and toddling around all the open space, checking out the animals and most memorable a tractor ride with Uncle and Godfather Eddie!
