We went to the Dutch Village in April. I had never been, and I am a sucker for kitschy places such as this. Faolan loved the antique carousel, the funny fake horse and carriage and best of all, the baby animals. There are also ducks and geese wandering about as well as chickens. It rained that morning, but we got lucky and stayed dry in the afternoon when we went. I didn't get a photo of the big mouse (a man in a mouse suit). She saw him across the park and we tried to chase him down the rest of the day. Finally, I saw him again and alerted Faolan, who rushed over to see him . As she drew closer to the mouse she stopped, paused for one moment and then screamed, terrified, and ran back to me. I should not have laughed. After some talking, she became brave and went along with me to shake the big mouse's hand.
Faolan LOVES puddles!
We enjoyed the annual Highland Festival in May. Notice Faolan and her baby match? All three of us are wearing the Scottish National Tartan. It was fun, but Faolan was not in much of mood to pose for photos that day. Mom & Dick joined us since they were still in town.
Faolan loves the water!
One of our favorite things to do in the Summer is to go to the farmers market. They always have bubbles and hula hoops for the kids.

This is my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Who should be so lucky?
Super Finn! I never know what she is going to do next. This day I was folding white laundry and I failed to notice that two of Tim's socks went missing. Adorable.
