And That Was the End of That

Thank the Lord I went to bed early before I could lay witness to the drunken debauchery. It was our last night in Idaho and also the night following the funeral. I think people were just looking to unwind and connect with each other after all of the powerful emotions from the situation. I believe what happend was the boys had been drinking, but weren't full out drunk. They found out that a cousin was at one of the local bars and so took it upon themselves to "mess with his game". Upon the first bar they went to they could not find him, so naturally they had to venture to the next bar, and then the one after that. Little brother started out in one state of mind, and based off of the pictures ended in another state.

The Scotch Games - Part 3

My Final Installment of Pictures, and probably the best of all of them.

The Scotch Games - Part 2

What the guys are eating is called a Scottish Egg. They hardboil the egg, wrap sausage around it and then roll it in breadcrumbs and fry it I believe. After that it is baked. I lost my nerve to try it...

The Scotch Games- Part 1

We drove down to Gresham this last weekend for the Scottish Highland Games to support my brother. It was $20 to get in and their had to be several thousand people there. At first we thought it was a little steep, but by the end of the day it was sooo worth it. We hung out with Diane and Annie while Phil and Paul competed. Paul placed 3rd in his class and Phil placed second in his. Phil also won a sword, which is still questionable whether that was a good idea to give that boy a sword... After the games we went to Kells in downtown Portland for dinner and then back to the hotel for a riveting game of Uno! Ry and I finally got to test out the back of our new truck and it was pretty nice! We headed out the next morning. I feel very blessed to know my brother has married into such a great family. We truly enjoy their company and can't wait till the next time we get to hang out with the MacLachlan Clan again!

Lake Chelan

The weekend following 4th of July we had a wedding to attend in Lake Chelan. We decided to make it a camping adventure and stayed at 25 Mile Creek with some buddies from work. The wedding was so beautiful and the bride was breath taking, truly! The wedding took place at Karma Vineyards where the wine never stopped. The newlyweds anticipated the effects of the wine and sent a shuttle to pick people up from their campsites- I was glad for this! The food was awesome and the view was spectacular. I danced my little heart out and made a lot of new friends, who surprisingly I still remember their names- point one for me! Woot!

4th of July

We had a really great 4th of July! My mom with my cousin's Michaela & Brandi with her little girl Ryan came up to stay. We did the tour of graves where we visited Cobain, the Lee's and Hendrix. We saw the Troll, checked out both Markets, and just had a really great time! Lot's of bbq'ing, smores and fireworks. It was truly a great time!
