the pipe band   
My Mom and I 
the band again 
here are the wee dancers getting ready toproiform 
Unfortunately the weather was a bit unpredictable tonight so as Cobourg is a long way from Toronto, Scott ans I left early, but before leaving I got this parting shot 
Then it was to the snowy Highway and home, it really was nice to spend some time with my parents over a Burns Supper and I hope to do it again next year.

I miss the Burns night we use to have at our local legion. There is nothing like listen to an entire pipe band in a small space!!
It looks like you had a wonderful Burns Weekend!
It must have been special listing to your dad give the keynote speech.
Thanks for sharing,
Sara

Pssst. "Buns" supper? I'm sorry, but that made me laugh when I read it. Had a picture of people dressed in their best and eating nothing but buns. On a side note. Great pictures. Looks like a great time!
