    AN UPDATE! It looks like I'll be going on Saturday after all! I'm not sure what time I'll arrive yet. I'm going to shoot for something like 10am, but that's only so I can probably get there by noon. I'll be the goateed guy with long hair, pretty wife, and two adorable young kids doubled up in one stroller. I'm sure that there won't be ANY one else like that out there.... My wife's a photographer, so we, too, will have a camera. Now if we can just remember to take it out and use it....

    If I might suggest, don't get there too early with the little ones. Shade gets mighty scarce around the grounds and by sunset you'll be fried (been there, done that). Adults just deal with it but little kids...
    Besides, the pro-games are later in the afternoon anyway and after they finish up it will just be getting dusky (dusky?). There's still lots going on after the sun goes down and it's way more comfortable.

    We have officially decided that we're going Friday after work. They have a ceremonial "Calling of the Clans" at 8 followed by fireworks and a ceilidh. We've never done the opening festivities, so this should be fun.

    Now, which kilt to wear? Decisions, decisions...

    I'm almost paranoid to post about it since things have been so back and forth lately for us budget-wise... yeesh!

    Anyway, Christopher and I think we will be out there Saturday. Not sure how long we'll be there or what time we'll arrive, but here's hoping nothing else comes up.

    Hope to see some of you out there!
