Over The Summer

Over the summer I felt I needed a little break from blogging

I found I wasn't enjoying blogging

So I took a break over the Summer to enjoy being a family

We had so much on here is what we got up to over the Summer months

In June my Mam and I went on my very best friends hen do

in Dublin it was great fun. We had drinks in her parents house then on to

a party bus, before cocktail making and a three course meal it

was a fab night!

Soon afterwards we flew to Croatia for our other friends wedding

it was a stunning day. The bride looked amazing and I couldn't help but

relax while sipping champagne while looking out to sea at the drinks reception

Oisín was made feel so welcome, he was the star of the show, clapping at the

speeches and dancing with the bride and groom at the reception

It's was a beautiful wedding that we will be talking of for years to come.

We stayed in Croatia for a week after the wedding and had our first family holiday

We had a wonderful week Oisín swam in the sea, we drank cocktails, went to Dubrovnik (Kings Landing to Game of Thrones fans) ate lovely food, went a amazing boat tour and went out in the evenings thanks to my Mam babysitting. It was a wonderful first family holiday can't wait for our next one!

We had lots of fun filled family days out 

we went to Dublin Zoo and Oisín really enjoyed seeing all the different animals

everything was a tiger or a dog to him! I have lots of different memories of going to Dublin Zoo as a child so I was really excited to bring Oisín. We had a lovely day plus it didn't rain which is rare after the summer we had in Dublin

We also went to the RDS Horse Show which is fast becoming a tradition for us as we went last year and we look forward to it all summer.

Oisín really enjoyed it this year he went on his very own horse ride this year

but he hated it and only went half way around before he got off!! 

Summer has also been filled with small little family days

Like when Granddad babysit Oisín for a morning alone and I came

home from work to find them both playing on the swings!

Oisín loves his Grandparents and loves to take Nanny's washing out of her washing machine!

We also celebrated my Great Aunts 80th birthday and had a great night out

My most favourite day of the summer was a month ago

when my best friend got married. I was honoured to be her bridesmaid

and got to walk up the aisle with my little boy Oisín who was pageboy

I can't wait to see the professional wedding photographs 

My friend looked amazing the sun shone and the wedding was stunning from start

to finish. I was also honoured to say a speech at the reception and then got to dance the night away!

It was a most beautiful day and fun filled night that I will never forget

So now Summer is over and to be honest weather wise it never really started here in Ireland

With so much going on this Summer I am now looking forward

to a relaxing candle filled Autumn!!
