Celtic Festival and Friends visit

On Saturday friends from a couple of hours away decided they would like to attend the Celtic Festival in Buffalo, MO, but they stopped by here first. It was totally awesome to see them and their kids. Wow, the kids have definitely grown, and for the better. *smile* While we were waiting to leave on the 20 minute drive into town it of course started sprinkling rain. Almost always does when T and Rain are in the same area and this time was no different. So we got there, grabbed a hotdogs, cokes, chips and sat down to eat. After that we moved over to a place with a roof and then waited, waited, and waited some more for the bagpipe players to march. After they did, we waited some more until a group of girls in a drumming/marching band played. They were awesome, but I didn't get any video because it had been raining and I forgot my camera in the van. Eventually the rain did stop and we started wondering around a little. While my wife was talking to some of the vendors about one of her Celtic relatives, I took the following short video...

After that we came home and talked a while. Their kids decided the swimming pool water was warm enough and they jumped in, much to our surprise. They have a pool at home too, but their kids thought it was too cold. Apparently ours didn't look as cold. *brr*

While we were away, the people we gave our chickens to came and got the chicken coop. Our yard now looks REALLY bare.


This is where the coop was.

And this is what was under it...

And while I was out there with the camera I decided to take a picture of the Weeping Willow Tree, just for the hell of it. *smile*
