Ireland-Last Day!

Last full day in Europe! Great pictures posted by Jen, Liz, and one of moms on the trip. Thanks so much for keeping us stateside folks posted on your travels. The final big adventure starts in a few hours as the group hops from Dublin to JFK. Then an 8 hour (?!?!) layover before landing at DIA at 11:46ish tomorrow night. With any luck, Jen will be in her own bed, in her own house, slightly before 2 AM Thursday. 

Oh, Blarney

Well, the Roth women are at least still on vacation. Jen and the group visited Blarney State Park today and kissed the Blarney Stone? Don't have a picture (yet??[ever]) confirming that. Sure looks like a beautiful place. Tomorrow is the last full day of sightseeing before the adventure home begins at about 2 AM our time Wesnesday morning. 

Home

The men are back! Pulled into the church at 8:20 to a waiting crowd of family and friends! Boys are excited to sleep in their own beds and shower! So thankful for Pastor Mike, the other adults that went on the trip and our friends and family that prayerfully and financially supported the trip! 

Killarney State Park, Ireland

This looks fun! Killarney State Park in Ireland yesterday. Appears a bit chilly in the coast. Sure hope Mrs. Roth is ready for temps nearing 100 when she returns on Thursday. 

Florida-Saturday

A trip to the beach! It's been fun to FaceTime with sister every couple of days. She always asks how the dogs are. I tell her they haven't been fed since she left. She says "Daaaadddd". Then makes me show them to her. Have another great day in the sun sister! 

Omaha

The last morning stretch before the short 500 mile jaunt across Nebraska to Greeley. Last night in Omaha looked pretty fun, with Andrew getting his hair braided and Nathanael leaving evening devotions like a boss. Praying the group can Leave His Mark in the people they are able to encounter on the last day of the trip. I miss my boys and can't wait to see them tonight! 

Greeley-Ryan

Life continues in Greeley. Polished off a 60 hour work week while everyone was gone. Taugh two spin classes. Kept the dogs and turtle and grass alive. Finally worked in some fun yesterday at a Double Diamond Crossfit corn hole tournament. Followed that with a trip downtown with friends for dinner and drinks at Friday Fest and the Blues Jam. Might not be Ireland, but we found a pretty cool Irish Pub to raise our glasses at! Also found time to clean myself up a little bit. Frito truck is pretty warm already and it's only June. 

Orlando

It appears that Sarabeth is having a great week with her cousins in Floridia. Don't know much about the pictures other then it looks hot and muggy there. But at least they found a beach! Maybe Gulf of Mexico? 

Henry-On The Road

The kids all had one last stretch around the flagpole this morning before they said goodbye to their new friends in Henry and crowded into their caravan of vans and hit the road for the the drive to Omaha. The freshly painted church looks great. Can't wait to see them tomorrow night and hear all the stories from the trip. Safe travels team! 

Herny

Last full day in Henry. Temps today reached 100. Yuck. All I have is Andrew hanging out a window painting and Nathanael doing, well, work I guess. They did find a van to replace the one that was acting up. So on the road to Omaha tomorrow and Greeley Sunday night! 

Galway, Ireland

It's bedtime after a long day in Galway. Here are a few images I snagged from a moms Facebook page that is on the trip. The first picture is from the beach they visited today? Atlantic Ocean? Who knows. The new purse she bought for the trip already broke it appears. They sure can build some cool buildings over there! Still 4 more days of sightseeing before the long return home. I guess things are going well? 

Henry-Noah

Getting pretty high up on that ladder, aren't you son? But it looks like fun. Just don't let your mom see. The last picture is the chapel service on Wesnesday night. Hard to believe the gang heads home Saturday morning (that's if they can find a new 15 passenger van to replace the one that's acting up).
