Fall is in the Air

Folk Festival Hailey ID. - Boise Highlanders

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the beginning of October I made a last minute decision to go visit my Mom & Brother.
While I was up there it just so happens that the Boise Highlander Bagpipers were performing at the local Folk Fest. I don't get to see them very often so when I get the chance I don't think twice :-)
I love the bagpipes, the sound and just everything about them! I think it's just beautiful!
I got some awesome pictures I can't wait to show everyone!

First I want to start of with the Drums, their probably close to being my favorite when it comes to instruments. They add so much emphasis on whatever's being played. I just love em. Here is a picture of the big one!





The weather felt very much like the Fall weather I remember from living there. Quite a bit chipper than where I live now. I wore a sweatshirt and a coat till about 3p.m when it started to get a bit warmer, then I started shedding my layers. Which made me all the more happier. I don't like cold weather. Yuck!

So the folk festival is a part of a event that takes place up there called Trailing of The Sheep.
Every year around this time all the sheep herders bring their herds down through the valley and they hold this Festival. It's fun, but the whole reason I go for is to see the Bagpipers.

Main reason being... when I was a wee little girl my mother and I used to dance with them.
See my parents knew some of the members of the band back in the day and one of dancers taught my Mom and I the steps. I loved it, and to this day I want to get up and dance with them every time I hear em :) Needless to say, I'm definitely not good so I don't get up and dance lol.

I was about this girl's age when I danced with them. 

So anyway, I had an absolute funtastic time being able to see the Highlanders and Spend time with my Mom & Brother. Can't wait till next year when i get to see them perform again! :)

Till next time, TA-TA!

One Last picture! 

Love, Brooke
