My Irish Holiday #2

On the 7th of April my family and I went to Ireland .I was born in Ireland and have lived there for seven years and came to New Zealand in September 2013.

The plane from Auckland airport took off at 8:30pm for Dubai. It took about 17 hours to get there and we had a one hour layover in Dubai. From Dubai to Ireland it took just under eight hours. We flew Emirates all the way.

When we got to my Grandparents house everyone was there ready to greet us. The next day we went to Tesco to do the shopping (because we didn’t want to use Nanny and Grandads food and other stuff).

One day I went to Kbowl with my Uncle Damo. He won by 3 points. He got one strike and I nearly got one. After bowling we went upstairs to the arcade and I played this awesome car game.

I went to Blessington to get a haircut and the hairdresser remembered me from two years ago. When she was finished she said “See you in another two years.”  

As a family tradition all of the Sargent’s and “the outlaws” went to Sean and Barbara's house for easter. When we got there we had an easter egg hunt. The hunt was set up in stations, so when you found a station you took one egg. I was the first one to find all of my eggs so I got the golden egg. After the hunt we had a huge easter feast.   

Before we left my cousin Daniel gave me a Hurley and a Slither.  

Most days I played with my cousins. I played Hurling with Daniel at his house and played with Leah and Shane at their house.

One day Damo,Leah and I went to the swimming pool at a hotel where Damo’s girlfriend Stacey was staying. We went to the pool and Stacey stayed in her room. We had a freestyle race and I won. After swimming we went for lunch at Chicken Hut.

In the last week of our holiday we went to Drogheda on Sunday night. We were planning on going to Tayto Park the next day. The next morning Mum checked the website and it said closed Mondays so we went to Dublin Zoo instead. My favorite animals were the two chimpanzees.
