Irish/Scottish Highland Festival

Shauna and I braved the overcast sky and went to the Highland Festival in Estes Park. Estes Park is up in the mountain so it was chilly but when it started to rain it got cold. We actually felt like we where in Ireland or Scotland with the weather. Nevertheless we had fun and enjoyed ourselves. She bought a couple really pretty rings and a pair of earrings. I got a ring and a new barrel or slider for my necklace. We also got scarfs that are 100% Cashmere, they kept us warm. We watched some of the games before it started to rain and got to see the bagpipers too. So here are a few picture I took while there. Enjoy!!

Also while we where there we got to see a large group of elk. No joke we where like 15 feet away from them. There was probably about 40 or so. One 6x7 bull elk, 20-25 females and a bunch of babies. Check out these pictures!!
