Day 231

Scottish Games' Opening Ceremony with the Marine Corps Band

The Clydesdales Came Out

Chris Playing Rugby

Caber Toss

Fun New Friends :)

And, Some Dancing

It hurt to wake up early this morning but it was worth it.  I dropped off Chris at 8:30 a.m. to meet his rugby group.  

With Chris' parents, we headed over to the Scottish Games to watch Chris play and to wander around.  We saw the opening ceremony and were moved away because we some how ended up behind "center stage".  

After that, we enjoyed a corndog lunch and then watch a little rugby.  Chris seemed to be involved in just about every tackle and hard hitting play.  He says someone's knee knocked him right on the buttocks and will be feeling that one!  

Following the game, we first had to watch the caber toss...wild!  Then, we walked around touring the clans' booths and other vendors.  On our way out, Jill and I ran into the Vikings!  Oh, they were friendly, too friendly!  And then, we ended our tour with some Scottish dancing, I should clarify...we watched the dancing.

We dropped Chris and his dad off at our house and Jill took me shopping for my birthday.  I was able to pick up a skirt and two tops, thanks Jill!
