We had such a lovely morning in Sligo Airport. Jamie, John and the other staff members gave us a wonderful tour and we picked up loads of interesting facts.
They gave a demonstration with the Fire Truck and each beaver got to try the fire hose. We were brought into one of the hangars where the small aircraft are stored and then we got to see inside the Rescue Helicopter.
We had a fabulous time on our overnight in Lissadell. After we got settled in, we played board games for a while. As soon as the rain stopped, we went outside for s’mores and a few outdoor games like bulldog and a kick-about in the green.
Saturday morning, when we had cleared up after breakfast, we went for a walk and a play in the woods.
