Utah Scottish Festival

We went to the Utah Scottish festival on Saturday. I don't know if any of us has any Scottish heritage, but it seemed like a good learning opportunity, regardless. So we packed up the kids and headed out for adventure.

One of the first stops was at a booth called "Kill the Giant." The girls got all suited up in armor and valiantly defeated the terrifying "Giant" and then raised their weaponry in a victory salute!
Another booth had streamers and the girls all enjoyed dancing and waving them around (the booth didn't have music, but let me assure you that there was no shortage of bagpipe music on those grounds!).
Here is Ariana with a nearly fatal strike to the "Giant." Pretty impressive form, don't you think? (Sorry the pics are out of order, I am just not savvy enough to switch them around... or maybe I just don't care enough... take your pick.)

Looks like tons of fun! And it is nice to get in a little practice giant slaying, you never know when that could come in handy later in life.

Okay, so I tried to email you, but I must not have your current email. You can send me an email and we'll talk about doing lunch someday. We'll be in Utah from this Saturday until the following Sunday. We're staying in a hotel in Provo since my sister and her kids live there (and they don't have nearly enough room for all of us!). I'd love to see you!
