Triad Highland Games

I got a deal on Groupon last week for 2-for-1 tickets to the Triad Highland Games.  We'd never been, so we thought it might be a fun thing to check out. 

There were loads of vendors, including one selling:


Yes, those are haggis-flavored chips.  I tried them -- they weren't bad!  I wasn't brave enough to try the real deal, though, which was being sold at another stand.  No thanks.  I'm only brave to a point.

I enjoyed watching the dancers -- Jon, not so much, but he put up with it for awhile.


 We watched some really strong guys heave a 58-pound weight over a bar.  Well, some of them heaved it over the bar.  Some of them just heaved it.


Ella pumped up with an IRN-BRU:


And there were bagpipers and drummers there as well.


All in all, good family fun, even though I came home w/a somewhat nasty sunburn :(  Boooo me.
