We left early this morning after our room breakfast of weetabix to head to emerald lake. It was beautiful and sunny and 15minutes down the road. We arrived and decided to take the buggy with us along the lake trail. We had a lovely walk all the way to the top of the lake and a bridge with many stops for wildlife spotting and stone throwing. We felt chuffed at making it 3km along so decided to continue over the bridge-bad plan-still very ivy/snowy under foot and def not buggy friendly. Fred was on top form and led the way over roots, rocks, mud and snow whilst I dragged the buggy and Dave carried Orla. We finally made it around to the emerald lake lodges 😮💨 and stopped for some food but a rather measly lunch as no sandwiches! Lucky it was such a lovely day and beautiful lake and kids were on form.
