Burns supper...

Several girls and I attend an official Burns Supper celebration (traditional event celebrating the famous scottish poet Robert Burns). The event was a hoot...am so glad we went.

The event started with a scottish bagpipper leading the procession of the haggis..



Then we had the toasting of the lads and laddies. The lads made a toast to the laddies and then we laddies responded with a toast to the lads. I have to admit, they weren't conservative by any means!



Then a little ditty to honor the immortal memory of Rober Burns...



Haggis...in all its glory. Have to be honest, I couldn't eat it. I tried a bite, but just couldn't get myself to eat any more than that. By the looks of it, can you blame me?



My friend Lauren and I read poems written by Robert Burns...we only did this because we were told in advance that if you brought a poem to read you'd receive a free whiskey!





We ended the evening with some good ol' traditional scottish dancing. Can't say I was any good, but neither were any of the lads! We just ended up spinning a lot and laughing even more.

This is a couple of the girls that I shared my first Burns Supper with!
