Day Two - Highland Games on Grandfather Mtn.

Part II of my blog about the Gathering of the Scottish Clans on Grandfather Mtn.

On Friday morning were back at the Highland Games on Grandfather Mountain near Linville, NC. One of the first events we watched was the sheep herding exhibition. It was amazing to see how the Border Collies rounded the sheep up and got them into the pens.








Jenny and Jordan went to explore the clan booths and check out the vendors.











Meanwhile, Suzi and Grandpa watched some of the athletic competition from our tent.



Suzi was ready to go-go, so I put her in her stroller and
took her for a walk around the track. While we were walking
she spied a toy Border Collie and yelled "oof-oof". Of course, She had to have one.








Then we went back to our booth to show him off to Uncle Brad.







Foster and Brad spent most of the day manning our booth, talking to visitors and answering questions.

We watched lots of events. We also watched as the photographers did their best to capture the athletic events. The ground was still soggy from all the rain. Not a job I'd envy.









































By the end of the day we were all tired, but happy - especially Suzi.
She fell asleep in her stroller. . . . we did everything we could to keep her comfortable.
Ahhh . . . . . .peace at last.

















To be continued . . . .

Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I love that Brad had on his Clemson shirt! And that last picture of Suzi was priceless. What is the ribbon on your dress for?

The photos are so fine, and I love how creative you became to make Suzi comfortable in her stroller.
