Tadhg and Sadhbh celebrate Summer Solstice

Tuesday was Summer Solstice and Port Dalhousie celebrated with a drumming session on the beach while the sun set. Tadhg, Sadhbh, mom and dad are finally settled in their new house so decided to wander down to sample the atmosphere. Tadhg had to stop off for a ride on the carousel first before getting to the beach.
The booming sounds emanating from the beach enticed Tadhg to bring our his mini-bodhran and start playing. He quickly tired of this as his booming was lost in the collective and he wanted to try something else. After dancing around the drum circle for a while, Tadhg wanted to build a sand volcano to celebrate the solstice. Sadhbh was content to lie in her buggy and listen to the sounds.

It was a beautiful evening on the beach and made the family appreciate their new home even more. Unfortunately a storm front swept in over the lake and Tadhg and Sadhbh were getting sleepy so the family wandered back to witness the rest of the solstice from their new home.
