    Kilted On the 4th of July

    Last year I remember thinking about wearing my Hunting Mcleod kilt to the Fourth of July parade in Aptos CA. but not being quite brave enough to do so. This year not only did I wear a kilt, but the whole family did! We had a great time and here are a couple of pictures.

    The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess with Sinbad and Xena.




    Xena wanted a better view of the parade...



    ...and so did Sinbad.



    And I met another X Marker! Here's me meeting gradientslew
    Hopefully he will be joining us at the Devil's Canyon Brewery.




    Cheers

    Wonderful family photos, it looks like everyone had an excellent day. Is that Sinbad in one of your hats, or has he claimed it for himself?

    And can you tell us just exactly HOW he was able to spot you in that large crowd?

    It was undoubtedly a much more pleasant temperature near the beach than inland yesterday. Glad to see y'all had a great time.

    Looks like fun! We should've gone over the hill, too, but stayed home and did "chores"..
