Wandering Galway. Maggie bought her Claddagh ring from Dillons (making the original since 1750). lots of street performers, Lynch’s Castle (oldest complete medieval structure standing in Galway), Eyre Square, and ending with dinner at Dough Bros with Daddy for dinner.
Spent the day with some locals. Because we were in Ireland for work, Patrick's Irish coworkers offered to show us around a bit. Bless the Kelly family forever! We had our first 99's (ice cream), we wandered through some fun craft shops, played around on the beach, and made some slime. Cause...who doesn’t come to another country to make slime?!? ð Such a great day! Much thanks to Ruth and her two girls, Hannah and Hazel for being our tour guides!
First full day. Daddy at work so girls wandered close to home.
The gray building with orange/rust window frames is where we are staying. It's called the Granery Suites and is a rebuilt grain mill. It's in the heart of Galway city center and sits on the River Corrib with mill races and four little streams running underneath the building.

The Long Walk behind the girls. Exploring Nimmos Pier, The Claddagh--where the Corrib River meets Galway Bay.
We made it to Ireland! We are exhausted.
The view from our apartment window.
We hit 7-eleven as a celebratory snack run after school. Although the girls look happy in their pics they both were SUPER sad about the school year ending ð They had a fantastic year!
Being a TEENAGER suits her ❤️ 13!!! Growing up too fast.
Girls on the run 5k. This year I ran with Caroline and Maggie went with Dad. Both girls were amazing!
End of year performances.
Caroline had some kind of Utah history presentation. She was a Spanish dancer?? She hated the wig and had a scowl on her face most of the show.
