This weekend I made my annual pilgrimage to the Scottish Highland Games at the base of Mt. Rainier.....
We were greeted by the Massing of the Pipes (my favorite thing!)
Made a token visit to my Clan tent (one of several I am descended from..)
Got to watch big, burly kilted men toss the caber -
And then there is the fair food!
..the paraphernalia...
The dogs in the Scottish Kennel show (the biggest wolf hound I think I've ever seen! Plus the sheepdog with his own fan since it was such a hot day :-).
The spontaneous dancers...
This gal was fun to watch - loved her use of 'wings' as she danced....
And the cute people!
(loved this kid - pulling the wagon with a couple of swords, a cooler and all their belongings..)
Fun day!

Were Claire and Jamie there? ;)
One of my current obsessions is the Outlander series… been listening to the audiobooks while I work since spring… only bk5 isn't available until Nov. (a digital rights debacle). So much happens in each one of these MASSIVE novels that I just can't skip ahead to bkk 6 and 7. :(
Looks like it was a lot of fun… would love to go myself some day! :)
Wow - were you there Friday? If you were - we most likely passed by each other. I love the Games - So amazing and beautful (the pipes and drums make me want to dance!).
Melinda - they have them all over. You should see where the closest ones to you are.
{Libby} - I was at an Arts Festival further north on Friday. Saturday was the day (which was fortunate considering the weather for much of early Sunday!)
