Scottish Festival!!!!!

Last month Colter and I went to Thanksgiving Point to see the Scottish Festival. We had so much fun! Colter really enjoyed learning about his heritage. We found the official "Montgomery Clan" where he learned about where his family came from.



There were bagpipes aroudn every corner always playing! There were also Highland Games there, which are hilariously awesome games that must have been invented when a bunch of guys were drunk one night. Lifting and throwing 20 ft. long log as far as one can, thowing barrels of hay over poles.... and much more ridiculous displays of masculinity.



Nonnie came and met us there, just in time for the opening ceremonies where every bagpipe band in Utah strode out on the field and play the Scottish National Anthem! The ground literally felt like it was shaking, it was bonechilling! The BYU ROTC Air Force Cadet Drill Team also performed, who recelty returned fromt he national drill team competition, where they won first place- beating their hosts, the Air Force Academy!!!
