Great pics, everyone. We arrived later in the day, after driving through some serious storms, and by the time we got to Franklin, everyone was soggy! Most of the vendors were tarped over, and the crowd had shuffled off. Still, we got some tasty snacks, heard some of the music, and toured the museum. I had hoped to say hello to Matt, but the lad was very, very busy!

Still, a soggy day in the mountains of NC is still miles better than any day in Charlotte!

My favorite pic from the weekend....

Nothing like a little pink death camo for a kilt, is there?

I mentioned earlier that my son got to participate in the children's Highland games. Finally got some pictures of that, courtesy of my friend Bisell McWilliams.

Here is my son, Josiah, waiting his turn in line:

His adoring fans...

Preparing for the sheaf toss:

And away it goes!

Now for the hammer throw.

It looks like you have quite the Highland athlete there.

Your son looks like a natural, and his is properly dressed, good for him.

Great pictures----apart from those wretched sheep!

Looks like a great day!

That Black family kilt is stunning.

Love the Black tartan, and those pics of your son at the games are adorable. I love the hammer throw. If they let adults use that kind of hammer throw, I just might be able to compete someday.
