This past weekend we made our annual trip to the Enumclaw Highland Games near the base of Mt. Rainier. It's so beautiful there and the town of Enumclaw is mostly farmland. It's so lush and green. It makes coming back to the arid high desert tough.
(It was overcast most of the time we were there so I had to borrow this photo from the internet.)
This is our booth. It's a 20' x 20' booth with anything Celtic that you can think of - jewelry, sarongs, purses, pillow cases. The list goes on. Will's parents started coming to this game a number of years ago, but it's so big and busy that Will and I (and now the kids) have been coming up to help. It's a lot of fun and we have a good time.
My sister, Erica, and youngest nephew, Connor, came down to visit us. They helped entertain Moira and Kyla when Will and I had to work.

This barn is right behind the King County Fairgrounds where the games are held.
On Sunday afternoon for closing ceremonies there is a "mass band". That is where all the pipe bands (13 of them this year) play together in the middle of the fairgrounds. It was hard to capture in pictures the scope of just how many band members were playing all at the same time. The music was so loud. It was awe inspiring. 
After "mass band", the SFU Pipe Band parades through the grounds. They are one of the top bands in North America.

Liam was loving playing with Connor's sword. He swung it around and had a great time with it.
