Egg-stra special weekend

Well we are all exhausted, it has been a very busy weekend :)
Here are the pictures. Firstly Saturday in the hard rock cafe, Alan's friend Sandra same along with us, it was great to catch up with her. We also went to visit one of Alan's sisters and as luck would have it one of his brothers was there to :)
Of course I took lots and lots of pictures but here are just a few of them :)

We took a walk around Dublin and Alan & Aoife stood with the Phil Lynott statue on Grafton street :) Aoife was singing at the top of her voice - waiting for an alaby

Sunday we went to the easter egg hunt in Belvedere, we go every year and it usually a great day out. This year there were so many more people than usual and I have to say the adults were worse than the kids. There was so much pushing and shoving. some kids fell and I even fell myself :( my shoulder and arm are really sore :( Some people got really carried away and very greedy, I saw people with six or more eggs. Most people had a nice time but a few did spoil the start.






After we came home one of Aoife's friends Louise came to play and they made Easter Bonnets

Today we had another fantastic day we went on "The Midlander" steamtrain. The easter bunny greted the kids at the train station and was on the train walking around. The kids and adults had a ball, there was a great atmosphere. We brought a picnic with us and had such a wonderful day :)

Happy Easter

Happy easter everyone, I hope the bunny left lots of chocolate for you all.
I finished work on Thursday and am not back until Monday week :)We started off the weekend yesterday with a trip to the Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin to have breakfast with the Easter bunny - it was fab. One of Alans friends Sandra came along and we had a great time. The easter bunny came to each of the tables and stoped for photos with the children. Then the staff took the kids around the restrant on an egg hunt and then each of the children got there picture taken with the bunny and he gave them each a chocolate bunny. Aoife loved it. I have loads of pictures just need to download them and I will post them later.
Today we are off to Belvedere House for an easter egg hunt, I cant wait. We go each year and have great fun, I will post pictures later.

Have a gret day everyone
Karen
