Scottish Games


One of the other fun things that we have done since we returned to Texas was to go to the Scottish Games Festival. Isabelle had fun listening to the music and visiting all the Clan tents to get a special stamp from each one. I think Bear really enjoyed the ice cream. Ben wanted to watch more of the games but there were not too many going on while we were there. We did get to watch the Hay Bale Toss. It is always so amazing to me that these men and complete such amazing tasks. One of my favorite is the pole toss. They are so big and heavy, I am always impressed when they can toss them and turn them at the same time to see who can get the furthest distance. So cool! I still like the Ren fest the best but I have to wait until October to do that. Man it was HOT!!

Sounds like fun! I'd love to see that pole toss one day.

BTW, Garrett has that same shirt.

I think the next time the Scottish games are here we will go see them. They had a small version at Thanksgiving Point recently, and I wish we would have gone.
I'm with Bear...ice cream is the best part of any summertime activity!
