We Made It!!

Well we have all arrived safely in Ireland!! I will have to do a detailed post later about the trip to get here but it actually went pretty well. It was an exhausting day but we are thrilled to finally be here. Now we are just enjoying some Irish tea before bed :)

Basically we woke the babies up early which made them a little cranky but once we got to the airport it actually helped I think. They slept a good portion of the first flight which was awesome and then didn't really sleep much on the second one. Just little cat naps. But that actually helped because we arrived in Dublin a little before 5 am, but it was almost 9 pm back home. Once we got all of our things, met the family, packed up all the cars, and made it back to the house it was almost 7 am (aka 11pm) and the babies were very tired. We got unpacked, I fed them and put the babies down for a nap. Then Patrick and I got our first big Irish breakfast! It was wonderful. The babies slept for 4 hours before we woke them up around lunch time and went out. They were refreshed and so happy. We went into downtown Dublin just to walk around and they loved it. It was so fun. We got back to the house and we all took a nap. We had dinner at another family  members house with a good portion of Patrick's side that was in the area. We got home and put the babies down a little while ago, so not much after when they would normally go to bed at home. They were exhausted. Im hoping that they sleep the whole night but I have a feeling they might not. We will see.

Tomorrow we are going to see Patrick's Great Aunt and probably meet up with a few cousins for dinner. Those are all the plans we have so far! I guess thats what happens when you plan a trip a few days before leaving! We have plenty of time though and this is going to be more of a seeing family trip than sightseeing. We will wait on the big stuff until the babies will remember!!
