Scot fest 2012

What a lovely day for a Scottish fest. It was at the OC fairgrounds. My parents took us there just for a fun Saturday Activity. We do have a little Scottish, but we aren't all hardcore about it like some of the folks were

 My Mom and Elliot were both in heaven with each other

 Hagas! 

My dad's dream food. 

It was ok. It was very lamby. (I thought it would be worse)

 Trooper Cody

 The kids loved it

 Lil' miss independent

 I found the only black guy at the Scottish festival!

 The bagpipe and drum competitions were pretty amazing. There would be teenagers and old guys in the same troop. It seemed cool. Probably neat to see they weren't the only teenagers doing bagpipes. I secretly wanted someone to tip over so I could yell, "We have a Piper down! I repeat, A piper down!" in a thick Scottish accent

 There was a big cool farm on the fairgrounds. The lamas were nice but somewhere in the course of loving the animals and trying to let Elliot pet them, a cow headbutted Elliot. It freaked her out for a minute. But she snapped out of it and was squealing w delight at all of the animals in no time. She seems to really love them. They even had an Ox. That thing was Huge.

This is a....worm garden

 A nice guy let Rowdy sit in his old mini cooper

 He was so excited. And there were a bunch of ads there for Brave/ the Disney movie that would come out later int he summer, Rowdy was all excited to see that too. We had some lovely Scottish meat pies. and the kids loved some jump houses and sheep dog demonstrations, I missed the log throwing. Everyone had on their family tartans and at the end of summer cousin Missy who had been to Scotland the year before brought back a little key chain with a scrap of our Anderson tartan. That was super cool.

Thanks for the nice day Papa and Yaya. Always an adventure. and it was so lovely we were all able to sit in the same car together!
