World's Slowest (Turtle) Adult Video...
























































I hope I don't offend anyone, but this was just the funniest thing. The tortoise (turtle?) knew what he wanted!

Ok, so this is out of order but I never got a chance to post any of the pics from the Jason/Ryan visit in June. Enjoy!

Celtic Fling pictures

























































































































Went to the Celtic Fling over the weekend. Here are some pics: Shepherding demo, Enter the Haggis, Scythian, Allabach, Feis dancing, Highland games. Fun times. For the highland games, the guys are tossing a 56 lb weight backwards over their head to clear that pole. These were taken at 10 ft height.

Blacksburg, VA day 3







On my last day down south I stopped by a little place near the Natural Bridge called...wait for it...FOAMHENGE!!! It was a goofy bit of Americana. Some guy decided to carve replicas of the Stonehenge stones out of Styrofoam. It's kinda falling apart in places, but it is foam after all. And it looks like Merlin is surfing...Hang 10 Big M! Then I saw a cool '57 Chevy at lunch.

Blacksburg, VA day 2








I had the crazy idea to go for a hike in the Cascades before the 2pm wedding. I am horrible at timing though and thought I was going to be late. But I actually got there in great time. The wedding was beautiful, gorgeous weather. It was in the Hahn Horticulture Gardens at Virginia Tech. Here's a few pics from that and the flowers and the reception. They had 8 different kinds of cake instead of one. I had a red velvet and vanilla cake one that had the best icing...thank you Joyce for switching me from the one I picked up - it had coconuts... yuck! After wards I walked around campus a bit, and tried to get in a fight with the Hokie Bird statue...
