Fling, Flang, Flung

This morning was the Seattle Highland Dance Winter Competition at which Mina competed. She won a 2nd place medal in her Scottish lilt and also placed in the other 3 dances she danced! How exciting!

The whole highland dance subculture is quite interesting to observe. Have you seen Strictly Ballroom? "No new steps!" sort of sums up the highland dance world. But it's fun and a great outlet for Mina's competitive streak. Plus there's nothing quite like bagpipes at 9 a.m. to wake up the sleepy winter brain. Whoa.
