Maeli the Explorer

Yesterday we had our very own "Maeli the Explorer" adventure. Complete with a map, backpack, and tea party. Watch out Dora - there is a new explorer in town!

If you happen to notice that Ryan has a newfound "way with words," it's because he kissed the Blarney Stone at the top of Blarney Castle. They say that if you kiss the stone you will be blessed with the gift of eloquence. Regardless of whether it's myth or fact, I'm expecting him to start laying on some serious flattery around here.

Fota Wildlife Park

One thing is for sure - these kids LOVE animals! And nothing makes them happier than getting up close and personal with their furry friends. Milo was almost so amused that he forgot about food...almost.

Cattle Herding

While on a walk this morning, we ran into our neighbor who was herding his cattle by commanding his herding dogs. We watched in awe as the dogs rounded up the cattle and herded them across his property. Milo couldn't stop pointing and grunting at the cows. Maeli loved the cows until she found a ladybug and then all of her attention went to caring for her new "friend."
