Highland Games...

So, if you haven't heard....(aka, you've never met Daniel).....Daniel LIVES for anything Scottish. On June 13 and 14, Thanksgiving Point had its annual Highland Games. We, of course, went: We purchased some fabric from the local Wal-Mart for Daniel's costume. He took the whole thing really seriously.

Oliver, on the other hand, just found the whole thing to be a bit hot and loud. He hung in there, nevertheless.
What I could not get enough of was the fact that Daniel, EXCITEDLY, pointed out every single person in kilt and/or carrying a bag pipe. Needless to say, they were EVERYWHERE----but he loved every single one.
This is the opening night "Tatoo". I don't know if I spelled that right, but basically it was the opening night concert of pipers and singing and drums etc, etc, etc.....
We went on both days. Daniel took many opportunities to play his chanter for the public.
It was very cool.

You should bring Daniel to downtown SLC and go to the Scottish store on Main street. He would love it! Looks like you are having a great time!
