Rathbeggen Lakes

Spring has definitely arrived here in Ireland. The last two weeks have been B-E-A-utiful! The girls and I have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather and spend as much time outside as possible. We are still learning good places to go within 30 minutes of Trim. Rathbeggen Lakes is a family fun park of sorts. There are some lakes for fishing (I'm a little sceptical of there actually being fish in the lakes, this is not northern WI!), a huge area with 8-10 bouncy castles, a petting zoo, playground and picnic area. We will definitely be going back here. We packed a picnic lunch and it cost a total of 12 euros. Not bad for a whole day of fun for the girls!

Greta still proves to be the brave one and spent most of the time on this big slide.

Addie preferred the smaller pink & purple slide :)

Seeing Addie in this dress brings back all sorts of memories of when Greta wore it, 2 years ago!

"fishing"

I didn't see any fish, but the kids had fun catching weeds and other muck anyway

Soup Lunch Sunday

The second sunday of every month our church has a soup lunch to get together and fellowship in the afternoon. April 10th was the last one and we had beautiful weather, probably in the low 70s. It was the first lunch we've had where we could eat outside!

David and Tina, the hosts, have a beautiful home in the country, with plenty of space for the kids to play.

Addie enjoyed the purple pony

If there is a horse around, Greta will be on it!
