What to do on a grey, Cork, April morning that is actually dry? You load up the car with your sister, your kids, and your niece and take a trip to Fota Wild Life Park.

I’m never a big fan of the food offered at ‘kid friendly’ joints so we usually bring our own picnic to snack on as we go. D made us a delicious salmon salad that was a million times better than anything we could have picked up.

It might sound weird, but one of my favorite things about Fota is the ducks and the birdlife.

Of course, the kid’s favorite part had nothing to do with the actual animals in the wildlife park. They made great friends with a crow…..

….and had a gala playing on the various playgrounds and big slide.

Another great Cork morning in the books!
