We ventured out to Thanksgiving Point this weekend to get some culture in the form of The Scottish Festival. We didn’t know what really to expect but we were pleasantly surprised! Since it was Thanksgiving Point the girls were expecting dinosaur bones or at the very least a chance to ride a pony and pet a goat. They were thoroughly pleased with the awesome music,
log toss,
and lots of Irish dancing. Plus, they all got to spend a couple bucks at a booth, which is really why we go to these things is to spend money, right?
As you can see, Lucy had a blast.
Since it was a Scottish festival, I was hoping to find Haggis-on-a-stick but as Mike Myers once said, “All Scottish cuisine is based on a dare” so I wasn’t too disappointed with my 2nd choice, kettle corn.
Due to the Celtic blood coursing through my veins, a man in a kilt always gets me giddy. Add a sword to the outfit and I’m yours so I went hoping to find him there:
He wasn’t. But this guy was:
I’m just glad he wasn’t “one of those Scots”.

LOL! Okay I saw that picture when you put it on FB but I love love how you did this post. And yeah, hasn't anyone taught that man how to sit in a kilt??
He certainly doesn't sit like a proper gentleman in a kilt! Lucy looks like she knows how to have a good time!
I need to keep an eye out next year and take my husband. He told me he was Scottish so he could wear a kilt to our wedding, until his family outed him at Thanksgiving and said they are NOT Scottish.
ACK! Scary! My husband and kids went this year, but they only came home with pictures of themselves. Dumb! Look what they were missing!
Let me tell you, though, the haggis burps go on for days, and they are NOT pretty.
Have you seen or heard from Mel Gibson lately? How do we know that that guy ISN'T him?
Kettle corn is Irish? I'm sure they're passing that stuff around in the pubs. Speaking of pubs, I doubt there was beer there. Not really an Irish festival, but Utah's version of one.
