Swiss Days

Ever since I was a child, my family has gone to Swiss Days in Midway every Labor Day weekend. It's a pretty big tradition in the Weitzeil family. This year, Christine and I decided to go up on Friday morning to try and beat the crowds... just like every one else in Utah county. It was probably the busiest I have ever seen it... but that goes along with the Swiss Days experience :)

Can't forget the famous Navajo Tacos... they are amazing!

Ice Castles

For our Friday night date, we went with the Duffy's up to Midway to see the famous ice castles that everyone has been talking about. 

Once we got into Midway, we stopped at a Mexican restaurant for dinner. They had an amazing salsa bar with many different salsas. Chad and I should've just ate that. It was so addicting that we were full by the time our food came out. Needless to say, we still at our enchiladas AND dessert afterwards (which we regretted later).

Chad and I have pretty good luck, mostly with random events. When we were walking to get in line for tickets at the ice castles, some random lady stopped Chad and said she had 4 extra tickets for us. What a generous lady! Tickets were $10/each, so we saved $40 altogether! That made up for our bill at the restaurant :)

The ice castles were incredible! There were waterfalls coming out of the icicles, color changing icicles, and tons of different variations of icicles. I would definitely recommend seeing them, it's amazing!

Swiss Days

My family has been going to Swiss Days every year since I was a child. It's held in Midway, UT. Chad was going up to Bruno's dog show early, so I decided to go to Swiss Days with my family and meet up with him later.

Swiss Days gets busier and busier every year. Since it's such a small town, there isn't a lot of parking. Me, my parents, Mike & Somre and their family decided to leave early Saturday morning so we could beat the people and the heat. We arrived at 9 am, and only had to walk about 1/4 of a mile to the booths, which is a record!

I love seeing everyones crafts and creations in the different booths. I'm always amazed with what people come up with. Once it started to get hot, we bought the famous "pie and ice cream". You can't get the whole Swiss Days experience without the pie and ice cream. It seals the deal.

I got a killer deal on necklaces, which of course, I couldn't pass up. I got 3 darling necklaces for $20! I'm a sucker for good deals.

This is one of my absolute favorite traditions in our family. I love being with family and shopping :)
