You know it is summer when.....

the family picnic season begins!! Today we started with the Mahoney Family picnic...


There were new girls....


and new boys....


and even a new couple or two!


The senior members basked in the sun...


...while the juniors played the day away!


There was talking...


....and more talking....


...yep, more talking....


...in full Kerry brogue ...


...ditto for the Mayo brogue...


...it is an IRISH crowd you know!?!?


Even last years babies know how to chat!

We did do a bit of eating...


..and of course there were spuds at an Irish picnic!!


The American contingent did see to the dessert!!!!


After a bit of  exploring the pavilion floor..


and a bit of exploring the woodland paths along the picnic grove...


it was time to go GLOBAL! Pinatas are everyone's favorite, right?!?!


While the cousins dove for the sweets....


Julia was all about the horses...of course.
