Uncle Rick and Aunt Kelley



Rick and Kelly came for visit in July! It was so great to see them on our side of the pond and give them a little taste of life in Ireland. Our first stop was Mount Leinster. We had a perfect day, the day they landed so we had to take advantage. We also went to Donal's home place, Kilconnor, to check out the farm. Rick and Kelley got to drive a tractor and get up close with cows, sheep and corn fields. The next day we rented bikes on the Waterford Greenway, a stunning fun way to travel. The last day we spent in Kilkenny walking around and lunch in a pub. The time was limited but so much fun. Then they travel to the West Coast of Ireland and did more touring around and then off to Scotland. We hope they come back soon!
