Wow, what a day! We had so much fun today with the grandparents and we learned all a lot.
Tommy's Granny used to make puppets in school, Bródaí's Grandad is pictured with an Irish wolfhound, Mikey's Grandad won a medal for Irish dancing and Lucy's Granny travelled to Dublin Zoo from Liverpool as a child and is sitting on an elephant! Rex's granny told us all about her granny who lived to be 103 and was a widow since World War 1. She told us about how she went to the farm in Atherny during her summer holidays and got water from the well and collected the eggs. The children were amused to hear how life was without toilets and running water!
Thanks to all the grandparents for coming to visit today. We had grandparents from Rathfarnham, Dun Laoghaire, Templeogue and even Liverpool!
