Florida Fun - two festivals


 We celebrated Thanksgiving all day long - and a highlight was Reed acting out Cassidy's Indians and Pilgrims first Feast.  She wrote it, built the props, narrated the story, sketched out the screenplay, and then had to take whatever the lead actor would give her - which was a smash hit for both of them!







This was the Thanksgiving group at its peak -- some had to leave about dark, some stayed until the last whistle sounded on the last football game, I think.  Of course no one left able to hold one more bite of food!








While Reed was away on a Webelos Scout campout, Ava and I took Cassidy to a Celtic festival in nearby Dunedin (pronounced, I learned, as "dun-eee-din") - about an hour's drive to the North.  It was better than expected with great bagpipe bands. This is their High School marching band which features bagpipes, drums and Irish dance, something Cassidy is learning.



Even the city has its own Pipe Band that competes in Scotland regularly - and wins awards.  Haven't heard such good playing since Tatoo in Scotland!
