Scottish Festival






Sorry for the lack of posting - a month - I'm a slacker.


We've been working on our bathroom, I got a new job, and kids are out of school.



Then Dell decided to have his arm swell up like a balloon, he's spent the past 3 days on IV antibiotics so that's been fun.

We went to the Scottish Festival a couple of weekends ago where we all had a blast! They had clan tents, (although our clan was missing :( ) booths, food, (yes, there was haggis), the best rootbeer I've had in a loooooong time - brewed is the only way to go, facepainting, bagpipes, kilts, and a really fun concert that night with some fun groups. The kid's favorite band was the Wicked Tinkers... http://www.wickedtinkers.com/ I didn't know they had didgerydoos in Scotland, but it works!!! They were awesome! They had a little mosh pit up in front and all the kids went up and danced and danced with them and everyone else, they made sure that no one squished the kids. I hightly recommend them, especially the song, "Wallop the Cat".


Anyway, here are some pics, you can see the kids liked the facepainting. Jefferson took most of the pictures.





If you tilt your head and squint, they kinda look like the extra's from Braveheart.




















Remember, many have been kilt for calling it a skirt...


This is when all the bands assembled. It was so awesome to see and hear.
