Scottish Festival

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!( For all you BraveHeart fans, edited version of course). Well, last night our Ward had a Scottish Festival. It was a blast. I know that sounds random, a Scottish Festival. The long story short is that we have one older brother in our Ward who is soooo proud of his Scottish heritage and he hasn't been given to much longer to live due to Cancer, so to honor him and show our love, the ward threw a " Scottish Festival". Our activities Chair person Sis. Harris made about half the men in the Ward a Kilt. Full blown Kilts. She even made one for Ethan, he looked like such a stud. :-) The ward was divided into 2 clans. The "McMormons" and the " McNephi's". We were part of the McNephi clan. We ate authentic Scottish dishes while being serneded by some great bagpipe music. After we were stuffed we played some highland games. We competed in Caber Tossing and boulder throwing. ( Caber tossing is where they pick up the telephone poles and throw them. We had swimming noodles. And the boulders were beach balls sprayed in a foam.) Our clan won! So we get our Clan colors posted on the ward bulletin board until next years event. :-) It was a lot of fun. You'll have to pardon the video. Our camera wasn't really made for doing quality video but you'll be able to get a taste of what was going on.
