After much dragging of feet by other family members we did finally get out the door to the Scottish Games at the OC fairgrounds. However, it was so hot, and the kids were really not feeling so hot, we only stayed for a couple of hours. We did get to listen to Alasdair Frasier, for a bit, while we had a meat pie and chips (if you've seen Titanic or Braveheart, you've probably heard him), and another band called Bad Haggis, who I would have loved to get CDs of, but I'd already gotten a T-shirt, and John was whining that he hadn't gotten a souvenir yet. I did get a sticker for them. In any case, bagpipes and rock music go well together. Gareth got a green toy sword made of wood, with a piece of twine for a sword belt. And of course, lots of lovely men in kilts to look at.

From there, we went straight to Long Beach to John's mom's. She was going to take Gareth and Avalon as well, so John and I could have a belated anniversary date. This was a big experiment, as Gareth has always refused to spend the night before. However, John told me the wooden sword was part of a deal; if Gareth spent the night and didn't make grandma call us to come pick him up, it was his. If not, it was going away. After an initial protest, he decided he wanted to keep the sword, and stay the night with Grandma.

We drove away sans kids and got to have a nice meal at Mimi's and actually have an adult conversation, without interrupting with "Stop that!" "Get out from under the table." "Are you going to eat?"
