I am officially a...

GEEK!! On Friday I had read on one of my favorite author's website's that she would be at a Scottish Highland Festival in Phoenix signing books. Now...if you know me you know that I love anything Irish or Scottish (I love the history and it's also my heritage, etc.). So, I was pretty bummed that I wouldn't be able to go because Joel had to work. After debating for a little while on whether or not I should go alone I said what the heck, packed the kiddos in the car and then I drove to downtown Phoenix to listen to the bagpipes, watch the dancing, and come as close as I'll come for a long time to actually going there. It was pretty fun...but I quickly found out that there's no way to turn Arizona into Scotland...bummer. Oh...but I couldn't resist:

In retrospect it wasn't the best idea to purchase a tiny kilt...he'll never wear it again. But it was SOOO cute! I also bought Mikayla a pretty flower wand. Now...what that has to do with Scotland, I'll never know, but it was pretty and she likes it!
