I have officially been in the U.S. just over a year now and it was time to attend my second ever Boise Highland Games.

The day was filled with Bagpipes, Dancing, Clan tents and great vendors but, alas, I had no time to actually get out and see the athletes. Oh well, I should be ready to compete again by next year.

Here are a few highlights.


The Boise city of Trees Pipe Band played inside a very Scottish mist. Sure, it was just the smoke from the guy grilling turkey legs but it still looked good!!!



I had fun chatting with people at the Clan Donald tent. They were kind enough to ask me to carry the flag at the official opening of the event, but I was practicing for my dance demo and, alas, could not do it.




My friend Martin who pipes for the Boise Highlanders led part of their formation and Piped really well.




I love this shot of him with the Saltire right behind him.




My dance group had a great time.




Here are a few highlights from our second performance.

Lookit that covering!!!
