Our First Guests!

My family arrived on Saturday, October 20th! We were giddy with excitement as we prepared for their stay and all the fun places we would explore together.  Their visit did not disappoint! 

Here is a glimpse at our time spent together...

Classic.

I think my family loves the sun.  Too bad we have Oregon weather in Ireland. 

Places we visited.....

Kilkenny Castle

Town of Kilkenny

Donnelly's Hollow shows mysterious footsteps that lead up the hill.  

The grass supposedly never grows over the spots.

This picture is for my friend, Alathea, who wanted a picture of sheep getting in the way of the car.  Ha!

Japanese Gardens at Powerscourt Estate

View looking up at the Powerscourt grounds.  Majestic.

Newgrange in the Boyne Valley is a 5000 year old

Passage Tomb.

Ancient writings on the boulders of Newgrange.

Cliffs of Moher

Kamron spent the day with my brother and dad at the Cliffs of Moher and shot this clever video.  So glad I wasn't there to watch this being filmed.

During the eight days my family was in Ireland we saw so many beautiful places.  They also spent four days in Scotland. Thankful for time with all of them.

Fun family days.

Last day of October! Our neighborhood has a party complete with fireworks.  View from our window!
