passerbys were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood...

today proved to be very eventful. i took tyler to a parent child tennis tournament this morning and we lost because i was scared to hit hard at the little kids and grandpas we ended up playing. Then, tyler and i played badmitten in the driveway for awhile. this afternoon, we went to irish fest. at irish fest, we saw a professional tug of war tournament (the qualifyers for the world championships in minnesota), an irish dog show (i don't know how it was irish), irish dancers, a bagpipe parade (jane - you would have loved it), and a really old man wearing a purse. also, i saw several hundred rugged, kilt wearing men with knifes in their socks. it was a beautiful thing.
