Waterworld!

Here is the full moon rising over the bay a few nights ago. Hard to see in the photo, but it was pink. Look how light the sky was at 11:15 pm!

Our most recent adventure was to Bundoran, a town about 30 minutes south of Donegal town, on the border with County Sligo. It was a cute town and kind of reminded me of Seaside or Point Pleasant. Lots of outdoor and summer activities, lots of seafood restaurants, but quiet this time of year because school is not out yet (not to mention that the temps are still in the 50’s). The tent and ferris wheel belong to a business that is still closed for the season.

We headed to Waterworld, an indoor water park. It was loads of fun!

There was a school trip to Waterworld, so it was more crowded than I expected it to be today, but still loads of fun! This is the first school bus I have seen in all our travels here. The kids walk or are driven by their parents to school each day and the bus is used only for trips and sporting events.

I didn’t get too many photos inside because I was afraid of dropping the phone in the water, but this one is cute. Interesting to note that all of the parents were in the pool and playing with the kids. This stood out to me because at home I usually am the only mom in the pool, unless it is a day that is too hot to sit in the sun.

Nora had a blast and fell asleep within seconds when I started to read to them at bedtime. You know it’s been a great day when you are exhausted from too much fun!

We stumbled on this little cafe as we left Waterworld and went in for lunch. Absolutely everything was delicious, from chai tea latte to homemade sourdough bread and soup. We made sure to give them a great review online!

They worked up an appetite swimming 🙂

Here’s an aerial view of the town of Bundoran that was on the wall of the cafe.

Next stop, the Bundoran cinema! Big kids saw the new X-men movie and little kids and mom saw Life of Pets 2. A great time was had by all, except maybe mom, who almost fell asleep.
