Almost every summer, Matt the boys and I attend Highland Games. This year, Dama Shan was in town so we dragged her along for a day of bagpipers, sheep dogs, wicked tinkers, bangers and meat pies, Scottish clans and hundreds of men wearing kilts. The day is typically hot, but the revelry is fun. Here are the pictures.
Dama Shan's maiden name is Ross so Matt took her over to the Clan Ross tent to sign in and hear some of the clan's history.
A cool kids activity at the Highland Games is the Scottish passport. Finn and Seamus were given a "passport" where they collected individual stamps and stickers from the many Scottish clans at the games. Finn loved this activity. He was determined to get every single stamp and sticker. He really impressed me. My normally awkward kid walked confidently into every tent and asked politely for a stamp without any fear or shyness. Social awkwardness - BE GONE!
A few years ago, Matt bought himself a sports kilt. Its an easier to wear version of the traditional kilt. Every year he brings it out to wear among the many Scottish enthusiasts. I love how he looks in it. It shows off his muscular legs. Very sexy.
Happy Monday!
We love attending the Highlands festival here in Murray -- ours is typically held in October so the weather is a bit nicer. It's become one of our favorite things about living here.
