Last weekend we spent some time with my Aunt and Uncle. Most of the day was spent at the Scottish Highland festival and games. There were tons of competitions - dancing, throwing a bag, bagpiping, throwing a rock, singing, throwing a ball and chain, throwing a tree trunk, throwing a pole with a metal ball on the end of it. I will say this for the Scottish, their culture clearly values big, burly men. You have to be one to be successful at any of those things... except the dancing.
The kids also got to participate in kids versions of all the big, burly people games. There were about 25 kids in the contest and Nori got second, Bubba got first. This was the first time Bubba has beaten Nori at any sports events. Clearly, Bubba is a big, burly man.
The last thing we took in was some live Celtic bands. We ended up seeing a rockin' band called the Killdares. I didn't know there was such a thing as electric bagpipes - there are.
Here are some pictures that my Uncle took.

Oh yeah, baby! I don't believe those were actually sequentially taken but U. Warren sure did a good job of setting it up. Miss you too!
