We went to the Scottish Highland Games a couple weeks ago. Bagpipes and kilts galore! It was really fun, although we got too much sun (apparently sunblock and hats weren't enough) and poor Claire had a fever all the next day. She was back to her regular happy self the day after, though. Next time I think we'll go for a shorter period and spend more time in the shade. Besides that, we had a really good time.
Sweet Claire Bear all ready to go
Wicked Tinkers - this group is amazing! They are very entertaining and oh so talented.
They walk through the audience sometimes and will play in your face or sit next to you. The guy on the left came straight up to Claire and played whatever the heck that is right to her. It was great! What I would give to have a picture of that! I had my camera, but was at a horrible angle. I should have snapped one, anyway. Oh, well.
We sat up on a hill and had a great view of the parades. Imagine several groups of pipers and drummers all playing different songs and marching through merchant's row. It's quite a sight!
They had free caricatures, but Claire fell asleep as we were standing in line. We still got a really cute one, though.
She also spun the wheel at the boy scout booth - sound asleep - and won a patch!
2 is the number of people who love me:
Wow! Looks like so much fun. Where do the hold the games and how'd you hear about it? Is it the same time every year?
It's at Brengle Terrace Park every June. Douglas' family had gone for years before I met him.
