woodysjames, I guess that the State Police don't have to show up at GMHG this year?

Weather guessers are saying, "a thunderstorm in the afternoon" on Saturday.

I think not!

The 4 older kids (my girls are 10 and 12, step-sons are 10 and 13), they are a handful. My son will be 4 in July. State Police wouldn't stop him. He's a little bezerker. He might rally the entire games and start a rebellion! His only weakness is cheese!

Who wants to wear a dandelion this weekend so we may know each other at a glance?

I'm game...if I remember. We have 5 kids coming with us, and half the time, I can't remember what day it is!

I completely forgot to grab a dandelion. These things happen when you have 5 kids. We were out there from about noon to 4 on Saturday. My youngest, Sean, is 3, and decided to do some wrestling. He had a blast, even though he lost.

Thanks for the slideshows, they were great!

It's one of my favourite things about this site, being able to vicariously attend Highland Games all over the world, in places I'll never go in person.

In the misc slideshow I notice some nice kilts, Spirit Of Scotland, Roxburgh District (I think by The Greater Richmond Pipes & Drums), MacDonald of the Isles Hunting (don't know which band). I spied what looked like a Matt Newsome 4-yard boxpleat kilt. I saw a pair of ghillies laced way up the leg Viking style. I saw somebody with the hose too high, kilt too low, no knees at all, a common sight at Games.

Overall the Games and their setting remind me of my hometown Games, the West Virginia Games in Bridgeport, with lovely forested hills all around.

My sentiments exactly. Your slideshows are great! I'm glad you enjoyed your first games.

Mackenzie,

Thanks for the great photos. You had some awesome shots. And how did you manage to be everywhere at once. As a historian, I love the pics showing the earlier styles for kilts and the artisans working at their skills. Very awesome.

Thanks again, Tom
