Piping Down: Scottish Tradition

We ended the weekend with the Scottish tradition of 'Piping Down the Sun.'
All these years and I finally learn where 'Pipe Down' derives from!
Above is O and Baby C, "Piping Down" (quote, unquote)!

The bagpiper played in the sweltering sun and even took song requests from passerby's!

It began with intense fascination...

...and eventual wandering off into the beautiful gardens, with multiple requests to pick the flowers:)

"She's onto me!"

"Chestnuts + Clubs = Chestnut Golf"

After being denied flower-picking privilege, O and Baby C amused themselves in the back garden with a few rounds of 'Chestnut Golf'.
Baby C is pictured admiring said chestnut and very likely scheming.

Mulberry Bird!

As soon as we found a mulberry tree, the piping, flowers and golf were forgotten.
Baby C stood with mouth wide open like a baby bird, waiting for someone to fill her up!
