SWISS DAYS
Last Thursday night my mom and dad came to visit! It's tradition that they come up for Swiss Days held in Midway every Labor Day. We got there about noon on Friday and had a great time. We shopped for about an hour when Rick wanted to go get a bite. He wanted to eat early so that he could wait a bit and then go for his beloved pie and ice cream!!
Kendra took the day off work and came along for the ride.
Ken found a hat.....the only thing she bought!
You can see Kendra loved 'em:)
Maybe next year.
I have been wanting to go to the farmer's market since last year when I first heard about it. We got up early and had a fun breakfast (I tried out some new recipes:) and headed over to the market in Pioneer Park. It was really fun! I brought home some fresh sourdough bread, some fresh flowers and some fresh peaches. Jackpot!

Look what we found crossing the road! A real live tarantula!! About 13 years ago we saw one in this same canyon and have watched for another one all these years. Rick and I hopped out where (of course) Rick gets a stick and starts prodding it and I (of course) have to get a snapshot. It was really cool to see....and fast. As we were getting back into the Ranger, Rick acted like it was right behind me and made me scream!! Everyone had a good laugh about that. Why is it that husbands like to do that sort of thing? All in good fun!!
That night after a really fun BBQ dinner (enough food for an army) out on the patio we took the Ranger up South Willow Canyon. Of all the times my parents have been here we have never taken them up our treasure of a canyon. It was a delightful ride! Here we are up at the loop. It was just starting to get dark as we took the picture. We counted 10 deer. It got a little chilly on the way down.
Fall is definitely in the air!
I love swiss days! It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I've never seen a tarantula, my brother caught one just outside of his house in Centerville, so I know they exist out here. Great pictures!
