On June 22, 2009 we were invited to travel across the great ocean and land safely in Ireland where we were escorted through time by a group of second graders. They taught us about Castles in Ireland, the Potato Faminine and how it affected the Irish, we learned about Irish Religion and the culture in general. I know now that it rains ALOT in Ireland which gives it its rich green colored landscape. I guess I dont actually have to visit Ireland now because it would seem that Connecticut shares in Irelands wet climate...now that Connecticut is far wetter than Seattle ever claimed to be.
At any rate, here are a few pictures of Garrick joined by his class taking us on this journey. In years past we have journied through Mexico with Mason's class and Greece with Abi's class. These have all been exciting adventures that I will never forget.
And authentic Irish Castle designed by Garrick
Garrick reading his lines educating all the parents on the Castles
He has just finished an Irish jig...How I wish John had gotten a picture of that!
He's ready to start as the parents pile into the tiny seats provided! (I think they were seats of the leprechauns)
This is Garrick's Irish self-portrait...notice the Irish skirt... WAIT WAIT... I mean kilt! I asked him if he had undies on under that skirt and the look on his face was PRICELESS! :o)
