What with one thing and another I haven't had time to write much about our holiday, and here it is the last day already. But we've been having fun, going to the beach and splashworld and the park and other fun things, mostly aimed at kids, but stuff that the grownups have been enjoying as well. We're taking (or rather, Geoff is) the girls back to Splashworld this afternoon (an indoor water park - a pool with waves, water slides, fountains, water cannon, etc). Last time the babies went too, and although Aine enjoyed it quite a bit, Alex wasn't quite so keen, so David is going to get off work a little early this afternoon and he'll take Aine with him and Geoff will take the girls. Cathi and I will stay here (and Alex) and perhaps go for a long walk or something, depending on the weather.

The weather hasn't been quite what we'd like - not much sun - but at least it hasn't been chucking down rain, so it's not too bad. We've still managed to get out and about a lot, and the girls had a whole morning of playing in the very nice playground in the centre of Waterford. Yesterday we took advantage of the brief period of sun to go for a picnic on a secluded beach fairly near to Waterford. It wasn't hot, but at least it was warm enough for us to eat lunch outside and for the girls to mess about in the rockpools without freezing.

Back home tomorrow after a long ferry trip and a long drive - I'm going to let Sarah stay up as late as she wants tonight, as that makes it more likely she'll sleep in the car on the way home. On the ferry on the way over they were showing Harry Potter 2 in the kids' cinema, so if we're equally lucky on the way back, that part of the trip shouldn't be too bad.
