It's Ellie's 3rd Birthday

Well....it's been a long time since I've been on Xanga...too much going on I suspect...plus a few inconveniences (like losing the cord to my camera )...

Anyway...TODAY is a special day.  Eleanor Ruth Emis is 3 years old TODAY. 
Happy Birthday, Ellie!



Eleanor with "Fluffy" and "Fat Cat"

Mizzee and Pop love you, Miss Ellie.  Have a happy day!

more Scotland....

This is a thatched roof building on the grounds of Culzean





This gives a whole new meaning to "family tree"



These are the ruins of Bothwell Castle...I was especially interested in "Bothwell" because there was a Bothwell Hospital, Bothwell Hotel, and  Bothwell Lodge in the town where I grew up....


the buildings from my home town were not in such disrepair....

Mike gave Ryan a chance to see what it felt like to drive....oh my...



When we were in Glasgow we went to lunch at TGIFridays...Ellie especially liked the kid play set....

More Castles....and grandgirls...

We found this playground at Culzean and everybody had fun....



At Culzean as you walk up the hill and enter through the gateway the sight of the castle is breathtaking.....lots of fun touring inside, but, alas, no pics allowed

...and, of course, Emma enjoyed everything.....

Sorry, I'm having a hard time keeping up ....

Well, I know it is hard to feel sorry for a person who got to go shopping in Dallas for three days....but...I did get a bit sidetracked on my Ireland/Scotland entries....so here we go....again....

We were driving along looking at this castle from a distance and finally we found it hidden among the trees.  It is being renovated to become a hotel.  The caretaker let us walk all over the grounds....




This is Culzean (pronounced cul-lane) Castle...a little misty that day so the pics are not so crisp...it is misty ole' Scotland...what did I expect????

This is the moat of CulzeanEllie enjoying the swan pond at Culzean Emma enjoying ...something!!!

On with the saga....

Here are a few more shots of Ireland...we forgot to take the camera when we went to visit our friends in Arklow but we did have a lovely time with them.....
These are a just us goofing around in Naas



After three days of jetlag and laughing we boarded our plane and flew to Glasgow, Scotland for a week with Margaret, Ryan, Ellie, and Emma who were flying later that day from Stockholm.
We rented a car and quickly found out that our timeshare location was in "cow and sheep country."





God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and most of them are in the Ayr region of Scotland....
