Scotfest with Midge in Estes Park!

I am finally posting about our trip to Estes Park in September!  We  were there during Scotfest 2014, Sept. 4th – 7th, and it was so much fun!!

I don’t have many pictures of Midge, unfortunately.  We were at the festival most of the time, and the campsite wasn’t very picturesque :(. More on that later.

If you’ve never been to Scotfest, you really need to check it out.   We arrived in Estes Park on Thursday, set up camp, then headed to the festival for the opening “Tattoo”.  It was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen!  It was foggy and started raining – very much like Scotland!  We were in the covered grandstand, but the poor pipe bands were performing in a pretty heavy downpour.   It was a sea of kilts and pipes!  Can you ever have enough of either?  Not me.  All of the bands were fantastic, but my favorites were the 1st Battalion Scots Guard Pipes and Drums and the 1st Division Marine Corps Band.

Here are some pictures and a video of the Tattoo.  Not the best quality, I apologize.

This is a video of the bands performing together.  They played “Patton’s Theme” and “Band of Brothers Theme”. It was awe inspiring.  So beautiful!  Please excuse the amateur filming.

I KNOW.  SO GOOD.
