Scotland is FRRREE

Or at least the Scottish Festival was this weekend in Batesville...

We went to the festival that is held every spring at Lyon College. There were all kinds of Scottish booths with food, crafts, history lessons, sheep herding shows, traditional strong man competitions and clogging demonstrations. And the bagpipes were everywhere. I was waiting for the girls to ask about all of the men in skirts, but they didn't even seem to notice. And there were hundreds of them!


The kids had 'passports' and we went to each Scottish clan represented to collect stamps:Of course, there were more Americanized festival activities going on too:Ty took a long, hot nap- he slept through the entire thing:

(Maybe I need to start playing bagpipes for him at night!) We had a fun time!
