Swiss Day Madness

Warning: This post contains lots of pictures! Every year the madness of Swiss Days gets worse. So why do we bother to come up?? It's a fun weekend full of shopping, no kids for a night, and pure sisterly fun! Without my mom home, we still kept up the tradition of our Midway/Swiss Day weekend. Mom sure brings some good laughs and fun that was missed while we were there, and only two more Swiss Days until she's here with us. My sister Kristin and sister in law Alaina headed out on Thursday night. We hit some good food at Texas Roadhouse and then hit the Park City outlets where we scored some cute deals.

After a fun night at the house and enjoying no kids, we stayed up late and then got up early to hit the shops over at Swiss Days. We all got some super cute things and mostly enjoyed the random crazy ladies who freak out at certain booths. We also had to have the huge scones that you can't go without, and we enjoyed some lunch at the Homestead after.

Later that night all of our hubbies came up with the kids. We ate at the park and then let the kids run crazy at the park. According to Phil and Kurt they had the "ride up from hell" with three boys in the backseat of Kurt's truck. Don't worry that Ethan poured water on Preston, wouldn't stop touching him, and they all wouldn't stop talking the entire way up. I assume next year they all might drive on their own instead of carpooling! Sorry Phil!

We got all the boys some matching pj's at the gap outlet!!

Saturday morning we woke up and ran the 10K, which has already been posted. Thanks to my sis and Caiser who watched the boys while we went and ran. After the race we hit the lake. The weather was pretty overcast, making it nice for us since NO ONE was on the lake! We practically had it all to ourselves. Kurt also scored big this weekend by checking out KSL. Some kid listed an air chair for super cheap, and Kurt was the first one to call and scored big. So this was the first time on our newly owned air chair.

Sunday was a lounge day. Just hung around, took naps, and let Kurt rest his knee. I think my husband has become a gimp. There will most likely be no more 10K's in his future. His surgery knee from five years ago was acting up and we would prefer to not have to do surgery again.

Monday morning we woke up, cleaned up, and headed to Deer Creek once again to boat with our friends the Woolstenhulmes. I forgot my memory card in my laptop, so no pics! Kurt attempted a back flip on the air chair. I got it on video but can't figure out how to load it since it was on my video camera. He almost got it, just needed a little bit more air.

Then off to home where we had a BBQ at Russ and Lynette's and celebrated Kell's big birthday! I wasn't very good about getting pictures of everyone, so here are a few of the fam.

It was quite the weekend!!!
