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 became 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!
