More exploring ... in the rain

Rain, rain and more rain!  Ireland is getting a record amount of rain and we are getting to experience it in all it's glory!  Often at night we can hear these crazy storms and wake up to puddles everywhere. Our days often are split with some rain and some dry.  Kids are doing well with it.  We are figuring out how to still get the most out of our days.  I even brought Hot Shotz (those hand warmer things you use for skiing) and those are definitely helping!  I often find myself feeling so sad for Ireland with all these storms though.  Their landscape has truly changed in some places.  Massive trees are tipped over or broken and a lot of structures are damaged.  It's really too bad.  

Tomorrow though is supposed to have some sun and be a little drier so we are off to explore the city of Cork.  Fingers crossed!

Just couldn't stay awake!

When you forget your boots .... 

...you improvise!

Some of the destruction

Ross Castle.  We are seeing so many castles that the kids (*ahem, Ella*) are getting picky about
them.  "This one's too small!"  "This one doesn't have enough places to climb"

The look of hope that the cannon works

Keep trying!

Some of the most special moments for me is when these two brothers play.  They laugh so hard and
seem to find each other equally hilarious.  So thankful for brothers!

Our motorhome crossing a little bridge on the Gap of Dunloe

The Gap of Dunloe is a very famous drive that was a lot of fun to drive.  (but I think would've been more fun for Luke in a smaller vehicle, like a motorbike)

Happy!
