    Theres heaps of stuff you could do - leisureland is good fun (ridiculously expensive), if the weathers good theres the beach, 6 and 9 is still young enough to have fun at the park/playground - the one in Oranmore is great. Bowling, cinema, city limits in Oranmore has activities like laser guns and climbing wall and there is something similar in Knocknacarra.
    If they are anything like my boys they'll be just as happy plugged into their nintendos!
    Are they staying with you for long?

    See what you can find on mykidstime.ie

    Check out if they've ever caught a bus or train. (You'd be amazed how many kids haven't.) A trip to Athenry on the train could be major adventure if not.

    (Ok,the 9 yo might not think be so thrilled with it, but it'd work on the 6yo.)
