Some friends from Provo were also at the Highland games - they loved it!
I think the visual of the dog in a raincoat is just precious. I will remember it always. Who needs pictures? Dang Scottish computers.
Lovely, all of this. Thanks for the updates for some vicarious living for me.
Are any of these outdoor festivities comparative to Sheep Days? (Or whatever it's called there in UT.) Not that I ever went, but it sounded fun as do all of these.
