Swiss Days weekend was quite the weekend! James had a friend birthday party to remember, my kids enjoyed Swiss Days and we got to spend time with Brooke and her kids.
On Friday I went to a viewing for my friend Chelsea's Dad.
Brooke took most my kids up to Midway.
Meanwhile Marshall loaded the suburban with James and his friends. James has always wanted to experience Swiss Days with his friends, also the hot pots and my parent's theater room. He got the weekend of his dreams. I packed sack dinners for each of them- sub sandwiches, chips, drinks, snacks, treats, etc. They went straight to Swiss Days where they got to all volunteer in the scone booth. Then they each earned a scone and a meal ticket for lunch Saturday.
They loved the scone booth.
They came home to my parent's house for the night. They had cereal and played Dr. Mario.
Meanwhile the rest of the kids had fun walking around the square.
Lynnlee and Brooke spent some time together.
Saturday morning most of James's friends ran the 10k. They were good friends to do that because none of them enjoy running.
I didn't register but ran with Kade and Tag. It was Tag's first 10k. He did awesome! I think we only walked a few times because they Tag had a side ache. Kade had a cold so he had a few times where the mucus made it hard.
James got a PR and beat Marshall's fastest 10k as well. James was pretty happy about that.
James and his friends didn't care much for the parade but the rest of us enjoyed it. Brooke's kids especially enjoyed it. This was their first parade like this.
Marshall took James and his friends to the hot pots during the parade. It was over cast and a little cooler so it was perfect.
They all had lunch at Swiss Days, walked around for a bit and then Marshall took them back to Lehi. It was a great birthday weekend and measured up to James's expectations.
The kids and I stayed until dinner and then headed back home. We enjoyed Swiss Days weekend!
