Highland Festival

Audrey persuaded us to join her down in Tacoma

for the annual Highland Festival last weekend.

Ben donned his kilt, and we made the 45 min. drive.

(a little girl at Wendy's laughed at him in his kilt, so it was worth it).

These three could be seen hand-in-hand throughout much of the day.

...even while knight watching.

Random Scottish terrier. 

The first thing Spencer said was that it was just like the dogs on Coraline.

The wee bairns had various body parts painted by this well-dressed

Scottish lad.

THey told me they never wanted to take a bath again ever.

Some random kilts and a Red Highland...

My favorite part? The Highland Dance competition.

 A Scottish Festival is not quite as good as the real thing,

 but we will take what we can get.

It was a fun way to spend an afternoon anyway!

(Besides, when else is Ben gonna get use out of that kilt?)
