    Great photos. Looks like a grand time for sure.

    Well done, that Rabble!

    Shelly (aka the C.W.B.F.H.-ask Mikey what this means!), and Big Mikey
    I believe that's short for S.W.M.B.O. (She Who Must Be Obeyed).

    P.S. I hope you didn't give those puir lads whiskey when they were expecting whisky.

    Great pictures! It looks like everyone had a good time. I think that Shelly goes by "Celtic War Bitch From Hell", but I think that only Big Mikey gets to call her that! He will confirm or deny, I'm sure.

    The very first thing we saw as we walked in the side gate, was PiperGeorge warming up for the solo piper competition. He told us if he did well, they would be staying until Sunday. Turns out he did stay until Sunday!


    I somehow missed this shot earlier, so I'll post it with F-HCAG's piper shots, I may regret this, but I bought Scooby a chanter:



    Since he already plays a recorder at school, it my not take much to get him up to speed with this thing. I wouldn't let him put a reed in it until we were off the grounds.

    Thanks to all who took and posted such nice pictures of the games and kilt night. We were happy to meet all of you!!

    Thank you so much Star!

    Here's a few more pictures for your enjoyment.

    Starting the day with a troop of pikers.



    Here's Officer Laurence , whom we met in 2006, posing with Madalyn. His fellow Pleasanton officers were not kilted this year and he instructed us to nag them should we meet.

    Looks like fun. I'm going to have to pay another visit to the games up there one of these years.
