This is our 3rd year going to the Scottish Festival! Last year we went with my brother John but this year and the first year we went with our good friends Spencer and Natalie Devine. We have had some crazy storms here the last couple weeks and caught ourselves in the middle of one today! The morning started out so beautifully! We were able to listen to the band we love called the Wicked Tinkers and the Bag Pipes throughout while picking up some great food just before we went to the fields of the Games. I was happy to see that they made it more family friendly this year by creating some of the games for the children. Above is a picture of a kid trying out the log toss. Afterwords we went back to the manly men to watch the hay toss while this crazy rain storm cam pouring down on us. it was so funny to see the guys still trying to continue the games! Either the hey could not stay in the pitch forks or the Pitch forks flew right out of there hands! We were hoping it would pass but it got worse before it got better. So we decided to make a run for it and show Spencer and Nat where we were building our home since the Festival was also at Thanksgiving Point. The rain was so bad that we were drenched head to toe running out to the car. The water filled the streets that caused Chris to lose his flip flops so he had to run barefoot ha ha! It was a short visit this year but a memorable one too!
