summer

 The world street performance championships were held in Dublin. All kinds of performers from all over the world were in town for the event. There was a lizard man, all kinds of musicians, balloon artists, jugglers, flame throwers, flame throwing jugglers. It was a great event and it of course involved a fun fair, food vendors, and all kinds of kid activities.
 There was an area in the park set up with these Elephant Pillows. Perfect place to relax.

Max REALLY enjoyed the Piano Man Juggler. He had a piano on the ground and would juggle the balls and bounce them off the piano to play songs. It was quite impressive. The video I attempted to post hasn't worked. Just imagine the greatness.
 
 There was a day nice enough to spend at the beach. A glorious day. And in fairness there have been other nice days...just exaggerating a little bit :)  When we arrived the tide was in so the beach was small. As the day went on the tide went further and further out and the boys had a great time finding shells, climbing on rocks and jumping in the tide pools.
Catherine took this great action shot! What a day.
 On a separate occasion on a different beach the weather was a bit more Irish.
 The day was a series of sunny warm bits and lashing rain. When it was nice, it was very nice. And when it rained...it really, really rained! Luckily, Catherine had her car that day so we had somewhere to flee to and wait out the shower. It really kept things exciting.
To the right, over the sea, was beautiful blue sky.
