Our big Summer break trip was to Northern Ireland this year. It was probably one of my favorite trips since moving to the UK so far. We kept busy, but not overly so. Our time was relaxing and everyone was happy. It was a happy and fun week.

Our first stop in Northern Ireland was to Glenariff Park. It was beautiful and felt like we entered a rain forest full of waterfalls. It was so fun to hike around in such a beautiful place.
We could see the coast from here, though it's not so easy to see in the photo.
Hadley - she really didn't want her picture taken

Koen and Hadley were play so well together.
We came across a small nook where people have left little treasures. We didn't have any little trinkets ourselves so the kids found pretty leaves to place instead.
Hadley had been getting some chuckles out of Evelyn earlier by barking like a dog.
Koen tried himself but didnt' quite get the same laughs out of her. However, I want to remember the sweet, happiness on Koen's face in this video.
The kids were exhausted by the end and slowed their pace pretty dramatically.
Evelyn gave in to sleep just before the end.
Macie was pretty tuckered by the end as well.
Day 1 was a great start
