J & S Lowe: Our Story: Scottish Fair

Two weekends ago John and I attended the local Tulsa Scottish Fair. The Scottish Fair comes to Tulsa every September. I had never been before, but John went as a teenager. I am a 1/4 Scottish so I figured it would be a lot of fun. John proudly claims his German heritage. He teases me occasionally about my heritage since I'm predominately Irish, Scot, and English. He says well we Germans took you guys over at one point. Anyway we went to get his sister and niece to take them with us. His mom pulled out the family genealogy book and low and behold John is Scot way way back in the day!!! So he had to concede and stop giving me a hard time. Of course the day we decided to go it was like 90 degrees and 100% humidity. We were all sweating so bad, good thing it was outside haha. Poor little Jordyn's face got red from all the heat. John bought Jen and I Celtic knot necklaces. We bought big lemonades to try and cool off. I shared my with Jo, and she drank most of it while I wasn't watching. There was a big tent were different professional groups were dancing. Jordyn loves music and started jumping and dancing around. John had to hang on to her so she didn't fall off the bench. After the music and drink break we walked around again. There was this little shop selling shields and swords for kiddos. Jo of course had to pick the biggest sword possible. She had trouble lifting it. She chose the shield with a lion on it with John persuading her to choose that one. Lowe in German mean lion, so naturally John has a thing for lions. He told Jo she could only get a shield with a lion haha. She finally picked a purple shield with a lion and matching sword. We tried to persuade her to pick a smaller sword, but being 2.5 years old she wanted the big sword because it matched the shield. All in all we had alot of fun, and we probably shed a few pounds from sweating so much.
