For a while we weren't sure if they'd be able to get here because of the volcano in Iceland which had stopped air travel in Europe. When the airlines got going again, we went ahead and made the countdown chain!
Just a naughty incedent one day in the week before they came. Thankfully they were all washable markers!
Aaron made welcome signs. (If you look closely, you can barely make out 'Mark' after he colored a house all around it.) We waited for them at the bus stop.
Uncle Mark
Cousins Julia and Annelise sent some gifts and artwork for the boys :)
We went to the park to play for a while. Daniel was at work...but excited to have the rest of the week off!
Uncle Michael - teaching Moriah to walk :)
Then we showed them the Franciscan Friary.
Treasures from their suitcases! Silas had been asking them all day what they had in their suitcases...he's been spoiled by the visitors we've had already. Uncle Mark and Uncle Michael did not disappoint!
A new Dukes of Hazard car for each of them! Their old one has been repaired dozens of times ever since Daniel showed Aaron how to drive it off a jump.www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9t_A-kOJTE
Uncle Michael 
Moriah loving her new doll :)
A remote-control helicopter. Aaron is pretty good at it. Silas just laughs and laughs, but has a healthy fear when it gets too close to his head!
It entertains everybody!
Thursday - Carne Golf Links, County Mayo
I can't really comment on these pictures...I wasn't there and I know almost nothing about golfing. But I thank Mark for taking his camera and bringing home all these photos to share - I was pleasantly surprised since none of these men are the picture-taking type. Maybe we can add captions later if any of them wants to help me with it.
They had dry weather all day!
After supper, Moriah got a lick of her first chocolate...she liked it.I think she was thinking, "Why are you taking a picture when you could be giving me more chocolate?"
Or...
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
