Ireland, Christenings, and 50th Anniversary Celebrations

We traveled to Ireland this month, our first trip in 2 years.  We went to have Ashlin christened, celebrate Kevin's parents 50th anniversary, and see our family we never get to see :(.  Our trip there went smoothly, except for a few molars that decided to peek through Ashlin's gums.  However, she did pretty well,  and Mary slept the whole way!  I also stressed about taking our stroller (Airline recently changed the rule about how big they can be) but the guy at the airport pitied us and let us slide 3 lbs above the weight limit. 
We were met by many cousins and Kevin's parents with signs welcoming us to Ireland.  Our week and a half was filled to the top with spending time with cousins, a trip to the zoo, karyoke, and just enjoying being with family.  Here are some pics from our trip!

Reading on the steps. Not too happy mom interrupted us to take our pic.

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo... You can come too, too, too...

Lots of monkeys

Man this looking at animal stuff is tiring :)

We had a picnic, complete with wine and plasict wine cups

Mary didn't want to sit with us in the wishing chair!

Uncle Dermot bought them all masks.  Now they are pretending to be in the Savannah stalking their prey!
