After breakfast I went with the boys to play a few games of pool. When we finished we went see their Uncle. The boys decided to go swimming, but I did not want to go so I stayed and read my book. The next day we enjoyed playing lots of different games. We had a lot of fun hanging out together.

We had to leave early in the afternoon as Ireland were expecting a Hurricane on the Monday morning.
