More Scotland

This was the morning we left the first campsite. After having a couple nights were we listened to the rain and prayed it wouldn't float our tent away it was nice to see a bit of sunshine over the mountains.

We started in Glencoe, which is the town you will find shortly after entering the Highlands, and then from there we made a little circle travelling a bit west to the Isle of Skye. These shots are of one of the many Lochs we passed by. We always love the drive through Scotland, and this was no different!



Although we had been to this castle before, our travelling companions, the Schmidts, had not and it is a must see. Once our kids see a castle there is no way to tell them we aren't going in, so we made our way through this very cool and historic castle, Eilean Donan.







Mason was having so much fun picking up the rocks and throwing them into the surrounding Loch. It is always a joy to see how much he loves just being outside, walking around, and exploring with his family.

I'm not even sure why Brennan was pouting, but he suddenly went to the tree and stayed like this for a good 10 minutes, then he was fine. I love that most of his 'moments' include silence in a pouting position and not screaming.

Carter was again mesmerized by the bagpipes that were playing through the air. Carter, Mason and Taylor were sitting there for quite some time listening and loving the music. They didn't actually want to leave when we said it was time to go, we had to bribe them with donuts that were in the car.
