Four Years Ago: Wedding Ceremony
Somebody Needs a Nap
This is what I look like when I’m bored and tired and waaaay more than ready to go home.
I am so ready for a nap.
Featured Prefromers
For future reference: Make sign then get drunk
This little error was duplicated on the North stage sign as well.
the band had no end of fun with this spelling error. they kept saying things like “we’re just the prefromers, you’ll have to come back later for the fromers”

The Original Marching Bands
Part of the ritual of the Highland games is the massing of the bands.
At moment’s like these, it is not difficult to understand why the bagpipes were considered weapons of war.
The piper in the blue and green kilt below is Tyrone. He is the Pipe Major for the Elliot Bay Pipe Band and he played at our wedding. It was at our wedding that my husband decided to start playing the bagpipes and two weeks later he was well on his way in that endeavor. Tyrone was one of his teachers.
Once the bands march in field, they announce the winners of the days competitions and retire the colors
then the bands turn around and march their way back off the field
It’s a deafening, goosebumpy kind of experience.

PNW Highland Games 2008
This weekend Mr. H, The Outlaw Baker (my little brother, Timmy), and I attended the PNW Highland Games. Mr. H was not competing this year so our presence at the games was entirely for the purpose of listening to some loud music
eating a lot of food (no haggis this year, we couldn’t handle the 40 minute wait)
and then engaging in the most cherished of Scottish traditions
