Jam

My friend and I made strawberry jam, strawberry freezer jam, and some syrup with the leftovers. It is SOOOooo good! Well it should be since it has SOooo much sugar in it.

The Scottish Fair

On Our Way!

Last Saturday, Mount Vernon hosts a Scottish Fair. They had sports events. One was throwing a 20lb ball attached to a pole as far as they could. Another was throwing a 15lb bag (instead of a sheep) over a bar that kept getting higher. We had to leave before they did the one where they try to flip the telephone pole! They all have names I can't remember.

Enjoying the games.



Kait took a ride on a pony!

I think Kait is looking more and more like me.

Profiles!

The family.

The sheepdog trials. We were in front so we had to be sitting- that is why the fence is in the way.

It was SUPER hot!

Scary dude that you could play fight.

Lots of guys in skirts.

A Scottish rock band.

All in all, a good time was had by all!

EARS

Annie decided to be brave and get her ears pierced while she was here! We decided that we would let Kait get hers done at the same time!

Annie was pretty scared. This is the before picture.

One Ear done!

And the other! Beautiful!

She picked gold little balls that look great!

Kait was so excited. The lady was very slow with Annie and she was tired of waiting!

Here she is checking them out! She picked pink sparkly flowers! She LOVES them!

Oh so pretty! Our "girls" for the day. We MAY have had be Annie's parents for the night...

Kait went to church and told her friend that she got her ears pierced. Tori said "No you have stick-ons."

Kait said, "No, I'm SERIOUS!"
