After leaving Fota Wildlife Park, we drove to Blarney and stayed at The Woolen Mills Hotel. Using that as our base, we had some things we wanted to check out with the kids in the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, we ran into a little bit of car trouble on our second day. Luckily, we were able to find someone who could fit us in right away. While we were waiting we wandered around Blarney and through a cemetery in the village.
Once the car was fixed we headed off to our original destination, The Price August Toy Soldier Factory. We didn't take any pictures while we were inside, but it was pretty cool. The kids each chose their own mold, and then Grayson was able to pour the liquid metal and cast his soldier and Scarlett's ballerina. Once the molds had set and been primed, the kids were able to paint them. They loved it! I most definitely want to visit again! When we were finished the kids climbed up the hill behind the factory asking for their picture to be taken at the top. In the second pic, Grayson had just accidentally smacked Scarlett in the head with his bag. Oops! :)
