Want some Haggis?

This weekend, the entire family headed to the local Scottish Festival in town. It was fun, but hot and rainy (yes, both hot and rainy!). The bagpipers were great and I wish I could have heard more. We watched some of the Highland games, particularly men trying to throw a 56 pound block over a bar about 10' high in the air... all in their kilts.

We do have some Scottish in our background... through the Dunns & McKevitts that we have been able to trace, but we are mostly English and Welsh.

I head home tomorrow, so this is the last day with my nieces (nephews have already headed back to South Carolina). It's been fun, but I am ready to trade the couch I am sleeping on for my warm comfortable bed.
