Golly fishing

Whoa today was a fun day. My favourite was probably Golly Fishing. Golly Fishing is when you have a bone and throw the rope in the river and the baby crabs (gollys) eat the bone and you pull the string up and put the crabs in your bucket and at the end eventually put the crabs back in the lake/sea. Last night, because I was so jet lagged, I woke up at 1am!! We were awake because we were jet lagged and then Mammy and Conor woke up and we couldn't sleep! We were up till 3am! When I woke up it was 9.30 and Liz, Eleanor, Nanny,Grandad,Mammy,Daddy and Conor were already awake! I had rashers, toast, and egg for breakfast 🍳 and it was a typical Irish breakfast for me! 🤣🤣
The 6 of us went walking up Glendalough and we walked 6km altogether, which was a good exercise. We decided to go Golly Fishing and me, Grandad, Conor and Nanny caught about 35 crabs! Grandad bought the bone 🍖 at the Butchers and we tied the rope to the bone, and dropped the bone for the crabs to eat. It was really fun and I was surprised that me and Conor caught app.35 crabs!! I caught a really big one! We took photos and I was proud! Then we went home and Eleanor, David and Liz left and everyone else except nanny went on Grandads boat. It was impressive because Grandad painted it and fixed the seats and the cushions. It was GRAND! (Because grandad likes the word grand😏😏) I felt a little sea sick. Then when we got off the boat we saw Sammy The Seal! Sammy the Seal is famous in Ireland because he is always in this river and we even saw a sign that said 'Seals crossing'.
We ended the day with a beautiful sunset 🌅.
