So, in Ireland our destination was the Cliffs of Moher---the green, pretty, coast. :D
This was at the airport, I found it kind of funny.
A little town we stopped in for a bite to eat. ^.^
Aaaaannnnddd....we're here! This is Benjamin walking on the wall there.
Left to right: Samuel, David, Me and Thomas. Benjamin was off looking at a the scenery nearby.
Oh, I loved this guy! There were also bagpipers, as well as a harpist. It was a treat listening to them all play.
And documentation, I'm in Ireland! Yay! The Irish in me is riverdancing. ;D
This video is of the boys doing their "kipping" runs. It's a parody of a video on Youtube, mocking Crossfit's kipping pull ups---it's full of kipping exercise moves. Hilarious!
This is what I call Pharaoh's Island, because I believe it looks like a Pharaoh's head. :)
And these are pictures I took while laying over the edge of the cliff! It was just my upper body hanging over, no biggie. It was nice with the wind, sun and ocean all around---very peaceful and uplifting.
Camera ^^^ extended over the cliff edge for this handy pic.
If you look closely at the picture above, the boys are very much on the edge. Look at the line of rock, to differ between which one is the edge they hang over. Fun stuff!
This is just a little video they show in the shops in the hills, of the cliffs. I thought it was pretty cool! It definitely looked better in person though.
The boys found a small butterfly on a flower and caught it. It took us a while to get them to release it. xD
We thought the pose was clever and cute of David, he was so excited to get it!
Don't mind me channeling the Leaning Tower of Pisa over here. I can never seem to be straight with my Scoliosis messing with my center of gravity. Oh well. I still got it though!
The kids and I doing cartwheels. Passing people were laughing and talking about us---apparently we're all cute, doing this.
Above, is me toting a Thomas-purse. Very fashionable, in this season. And below is be with a Koala-Thomas, with my ever helpful assistant showcasing this novelty. :D
Above is our pyramid, and below is our spectacular fall. People stood to watch us do all of this, and in the next few minutes, we had gathered quite the crowd!
JUMPING SHOTS! Always a must.
This got people going. What they don't know is that my back is all screwy. ;D
David and Thomas doing back bends!
We thought you'd appreciate this, Grandma. ;)
Above is me doing a crane, but we couldn't get a very good angle to see just how far off the ground I am. I am only on my hands here. Below, I am doing something of a similar concept, just with my legs extended. The true form is with one leg over your shoulder, but I couldn't with my jeans. xD
Me tossing Thomas overboard! Yay!
Superman pose---necessary!
David said this was the best picture of all--I agree. Too cute!
People stared for minutes before they moved on. It was really fun---and only four feet from the edge! Yippee!
Above, our boys "falling" over the edge. And below, I am doing a Royal Dancer, a balance yoga pose. Dad did one at the bottom of a waterfall on a rock, but we all know I kick his butt in yoga.
With the Royal Dancer, I had a guy come by and say, "Now THAT is how you take a picture!" I had a crowd for these ones especially. Dad, I win. I have a similar photo here of me doing some things atop a large hill/small mountain hike at sunrise---Koko Head trail. No Royal Dancer though. However, mine are always prettier than Dad's. ;D
Back to Ireland. :)
Now THIS is the edge I was leaning over. :)
And that's the Cliffs of Moher! Ireland was so beautiful, and driving through the country was gorgeous! I will definitely try to return someday. The kids were tired after our day on the Cliffs, but everyone had a blast---I know I did!
