Irish Sea



Wild Fowl Reserve


Biscuit the dog.

Today was a relaxing day spent at the Irish Sea with friend Johanna and Biscuit, the dog.  The kids have been enjoying having a dog to play with as they are missing Jake.  If some of the pictures look familiar, it might be because this beach was used to film the landing scenes in Saving Private Ryan.  The weather was clear, though a bit chilly.  We all enjoyed finding "treasures" on the beach and watching the seals.  Afterwards, it was off to the village for the much anticipated 99.  A 99 is a creamy soft serve ice cream cone with a flake bar stuck in it.  No comparison in the States.  We then went off to explore the wild fowl reserve.  This evening it has been school work and a movie with Johanna and Eva.  They have completely spoiled us with wonderful meals and hospitality.  Tomorrow morning it is off to worship with the local fellowship and possibly the Irish Heritage Park.  Cheerio!
