Camilla went back to Bris Vegas for a week so Macayle, Dylan and I spent the weekend in Co. Roscommon; a couple of hours drive northwest of Dublin. The highlight was the Lough (Lock-lake) Key Forest and Activity Park. This inlcudes Adventure kingdom; the Lough Key Experience and the Boda Borg Swedish concept:

Once you enter the two-storey Boda Borg only teamwork, ingenuity, trial and error and skills you probably didn't know you have will allow you to progress through its 47 rooms! It contains fun-filled activities, imaginative puzzles and enjoyable tasks but no instructions
Every adventure starts in your own mind... new paths are explored... together... with curiosity, laughter and excitement.

The day was fantastic; we also cycled around the estate. Accommodation was a the ArrowRock Hostel with stunning views of the Lough Arrow from the diding foom and the distant hills topped by the Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery. Old; yes very old! Dinner at McDermotts pub in CastleBaldwin.

Back to Dublin just in time for Macayle's Irish Dancing competition: referred to as a feis ... The word feis means "festival" in Irish. Medals and trophys and loads of oohing and aahing from Dad.
