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 bacame 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 fireld 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!!
