So been away for a few days! I was in South of Ireland in a place called Killarney. Was there last year as well and since we actually left the hotel last year at one point to go on horse and cart around the lakes thought I'd share some of those pics:
If those of you following along remember earlier in the thread I mentioned being involved in a musical society and doing backstage work for their show week well the weekend was for an awards weekend with them. There's a group called AIMS (Association of Irish Musical Societies) which hold the awards every year in Killarney. This year the Society I'm with was nominated for three and a half awards (I say half because one of our members was nominated but for a different show with a different society.)
Friday night was a fancy dress theme of Once upon a fairytale. I went in very much meh but that feeling soon changed to
when I walked through the door and the first thing I saw was Ariel on the big screen then this:
There was a castle on the stage and the centre piece on the table to mark what society you were was this:
It had a flag attached to say what society and it may have fallen into my bag and come home with me
The big screen had a slide show which was 90% pics of disney princesses with some others thrown in. Some of my favourites:
I loved how they made Tinkerbell a pixie dust princess!
There was also a small display of things other societies made for a competition. This one was my favourite for obvious reasons and I do believe it won as well!
Saturday we had an indoor BBQ because it was raining. There was alot of games at that so it was fun. Can't share those pics with you unless you're on facebook as they don't want them all over internet. I did take pics of the view from my bedroom window though because there was two pretty horseys outside:
Saturday night then was banquet and the awards. Well again went from meh to
when the intro music for awards started and it was the music from the Dream along with Mickey show. The join the party a castle party song! Loved it! Oh yeah and our society won two and a half awards lol (the guy nominated for a different show and different society won! hence the half again.)
The Sunday morning before we left I spotted this in the bathroom and thought it was to cute/funny not to take a pic of:
All in all fun weekend which i think was greatly improved for me with the added touches of disney because it really did help lift my mood alot not that I wouldn't have enjoyed it without them but the disney touches helped alot!
