I got the boys up and out of the house early. We drove to the Tacoma Scottish Highland Games. I am so glad we went early! It bacame too warm for the boys and we had to leave, but we were able to enjoy some of the festivities.
Here is A asking the Scottish Military to show him their swords. I am taking this picture while waiting in line to see the tartans from clans ‘Alexander’ and ‘Morrison’.
This is an event where the men throw a weight up in the air for height.
We also watched the Stone Toss. I was not paying attention and hear R yell, “I did it!” I look behind and discovered that R had thrown a large stone, straight at a dog and his owners. Fortunately, they were gracious in accepting my apology.
There were many other field events, but it was too hot to stay and watch.
We went into a cabin and saw a row of women playing harps. ‘A’ asked what the “things were that looked like harpsichords!” We also watched someone turn wool into yarn, all the while enjoying a Scottish meat pie. I bought the boys a couple of tin whistles. Big mistake! They are loud and every dog in the neighborhood is suffering.
Here are the boys indulging in a scone.
Early evening, we went on our friends boat for a swim and dinner. Aren’t they a cute couple! 25 years of marriage!!
A picture of our family. R is wearing two hats to be silly!
Looks like you all had a wonderful day! Lovely pictures!
