Today was such a beautiful day! Not too warm, but the sun was amazing. We decided to go over to Derrynane Beach, which we can see from the house. It was just a short drive from the house into Caherdaniel village, over a hill and down a –you guessed it–winding and narrow road to the beach.
The shoes and boots did not last long, but the jackets stayed (except for Bobby, of course) because the wind was chilly.Climbing the rocks.The water was so blue!Nora found all kinds of life in the tide pools and on the rocks.Lots of tadpoles! They can swim so fast!Everyone was so happy to be out of the house and away from the books!We only got to see about half of the beach, so we will have to come back soon. There is also what looks to be a ruined church on one of the hills by the beach, so we will find out more about that on the next trip.
On the drive away from the beach, this is what we saw. Two cows on the road, being moved along by a farmer and his dog, and a field of cows just next to the road, who came trotting over to see and moo at the cows in the road. Very funny! The farmer gave us some strange looks when we took pictures. Probably wondering why anyone would want pictures of his cows.
We're a homeschooling family of eight - five girls and three boys. Our children are ages 20, 19, 17, 15, 12, 10, 7, and 5. We will be living in Ireland for the next six months, and then going to Tennessee! This blog is a documentation of our travels. Enjoy!! :)
