Áine in a cast again!

Well Áine managed to break 2 metatarsals in her foot in the playground at school. She trip going back to her line. And with the pain threshold she has the teachers diodn't seem to know (or care) and we only found out when she came hopping out to us at 3pm.
Michelle brought her to casulty and 6 hours later we were looking at Áine's cast and eating Rocco's chips.

Lorcan's Birthday - He's 9

We had a "treehouse" party with about 20 kids in the house. Luckily it was a nice day but when it comes to third class lads it was a little wild. They had to in effect be locked out as they were lashin off each other.
Lorcan had a good day but wasn't in a "photogenic" mood so no photos I'm afraid.

Disney World

After Michelle's marathon we needed a holiday and what better place to rest then Orlando and Disney World for 2 weeks (sarcasm)
It was a bit mad 13 days and 11 Theme park days.
The lads had a ball and really loved meeting the charachers and getting autographs. They all came back with full autograph books (except Daisy duck kept missing her).
We went on nearly everything from Tower of Terror to Jaws to Everest Expedition to Harry Potter. Ciara loved Cat in the Hat, One Fish Red Fish, Small world, Caroseuls, Animal Safari. Lorcan loved Big Thunder, Autographs, Popeye, Safari and Splash Mountain, Áine loved Tower of Terror, Harry Potter, Everest and The Big one in Blizzard Beach. Me and Michelle loved their reactions to it all.
The house was great (thanks Kev for the recommendation) Flights easy as they are all a bit older, The car was great (shaky start but got there) the weather was great except 1 cold drizzily day. Shopping was good but not sure it'd be worth the trip.
Also went to the Orlando Science Centre which the lads loved. Once in a lifetime trip.
