Thanks to a fellow mom at Geography Club we have pictures of our kid friendly Highland Games from our Scotland day. We had caber toss, stone put and weight throw.
The boys and I had a very good time looking up the rules and methods of playing these different heavy events. You Tube provided us with many good laughs while watching people whirl themselves into hysteria doing the hammer throw or casually hurling a bag of straw into the air---sheaf toss.
The fact that it's an Olympic year is interesting too. The Olympians preform many of the events differently than they would at the Scottish events. So it took a bit of research on our part (being the point of the whole ordeal anyway). And the Highland Games attract these athletes on non-Olympic years.
