Julia Roberts carries her children's jackets in Ireland.
While the rest of Hollywood heads to the sunny climates of Hawaii and Barbados this summer, Julia Roberts has taken her kids to Ireland.
The "Mirror, Mirror" star is currently vacationing with her three children in Louisburgh, where they have reportedly visited an adventure park and even a couple of local beaches.
Roberts was photographed, like any mother, holding her kids' jackets and calling after them as they visited the Westport House Pirate Adventure Park.

Karen Browne, the managing director of Westport House, said the 44-year-old actress didn't call in advance but simply showed up on Tuesday with her children.
"She just said she was having a lovely day and she was really enjoying the place," Browne told Ireland's Independent. "That was it. I got the feeling she just wanted a quiet time."
So, what is Roberts doing in Ireland? As it turns out, the actress has a connection with the country that goes back two decades. In 1991, the actress infamously broke up with Canadian fiancé Kiefer Sutherland on June 8, three days before their wedding, and flew to Ireland with new love Jason Patric. In the midst of the media blitz, she reportedly called a taxi at 2 a.m. one day and local driver Mick Devine pulled a "Notting Hill" and took her from Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel to his home.

"Their was nowhere else I could think of taking her. So, I took her home to the wife," Devine said at the time. "Since then we have become great friends. We even went over and stayed in her house in Hollywood. She is always on the phone and always sends me letters from all over the world."
In fact Devine is so close to the star that he even gave Roberts away at her at her wedding to camera man Danny Moder in 2002.
