Hello all, this post has been a long time coming ! We left home on the morning on June 7th and checked into the MSP airport. It was exciting for the little ones being in an airport for the first time. We flew to Boston to connect for our flight to Dublin. The kids did well on the flight despite some nerves! They had their entertainment devices along to help distract. We arrived in Boston after a 2 hour flight and had a long layover for the 9.30 pm flight . The original flight to Boston was cancelled and we had to rebook but could only get an early morning flight out of msp. So we left the airport and experienced downtown Boston. It was fun to walk around , stretch the legs and see some history. I think we will go back to Boston sometime to really experience the city. It was time to go back to the airport , get some food , and wait for the flight to Dublin. It left on time , the kids did well again except our little one who couldnt get comfy to sleep. He eventually did drop off which was a relief! We arrived at 8am got our bags , and hired our car. It was a leisurely drive to my parents house and reunited after two and a half years! On the saturday there was a party where we met friends , relatives and neighbors , it was so fun and we got to see a lot of people in one place. On Monday we travelled to my sisters house where she arranged a party for our little one turning 3 that day! She hired a bouncy castle which was so fun for the kids! 
Thanks so much to her!! We spent a few relaxing days with her and the went to my other sisters house an hour away. On the way we went to Galway city which is so nice with pedestrian streets.
My older Sister lives really close to the ocean, you can see it from her upstairs bedroom window! The ocean can be seen in between white and yellow house with hills in background.

We went to the ocean even though it was cold there!! We also went to a funpark that had giant slides , farm animals and adventure area.
Soon it was time to go back to my parents house ( They and my brother came along for some of the time at my sisters) Friday evening we went back and had dinner with my Aunt , uncle and a cousin i didnt get to see earlier. Then we went to my uncles farm that evening after dinner.
The next day Saturday we visited a Dear cousin of mine and that night I went for a few drinks with my friends from school!! It was good to catch up and also see others i knew. Sunday we went to church and met more people afterwards . We then went to lunch to celebrate fathers day. It was great being there for that . Monday morning came and we had to leave 😦 There was a lot of tears as I said goodbye to my parents . I hope we get back soon again. Thank you all who made our trip so wonderful!! Thanks for reading , Terri xo.
