Swiss Days

I have been around the Ashtons for 13 years now and last year was my first year going to Midway during Swiss Days. (They have owned property up there for 50+ years i think) Well we went again this year, and since my Father-in law is running for city council, they wanted us all to be in the parade. The kids were great, had fun, ran out of candy and got rained on! But I do love Swiss Days! What is not to love? Lots of food, beautiful scenery and tons and tons of shops. Oh ya and tons and tons and tons of people. And the traffic was insane!!! I also discovered some really fun new ideas for crafts I want to make.

On our way home we decided to go over the mountain instead of around.....

Our brakes went out on us at the top of the pass. Not a fun place to not have brakes. We obviously made it down okay with Josh's sore leg from pushing with all his strength on the pedal (they worked if you put some strength into it and the grinding noise was a little scary) and my white knuckles from gripping the arm rests. sorry no pics of that incident....he he he


This is for my sis-in law Sammy who does vinyl lettering......she wanted to see it.
