The Williams Family: Hoooray for Swiss Days

If your a woman, and your addicted to pointless crafts that decorate your home and some awesome and amazingly cheap jewelry and baby clothes and pretty much anything you can think of then you should have made it down to Midway this weekend for the wonderful, amazing, stupendous SWISS DAYS!! It is by far the most wonderful craft fair in the world.. well that I've been to any way..

They have booths upon booths upon booths of stuff, filled with the now Utah famous bumbles, awesome Christmas paper from the Swiss chalet, or touch piece jewelry(one of my FAVES!) There are endless baby booths with everything you can imagine in them from burp rags to tutus its all so cute, to bad I don't have a little one or I would have bought it all.. eh, maybe it's a good thing I don't yet..

You can find any type of home decor you would wish, any hair accessories you can fathom and even manage to pick up a matching tie set for your husband and little man. I'm telling you people they think of everything!! I suggest sending your husband to play golf, get a babysitter for your kids and find some girlfriends and shop till you drop! It's only once a year and as far as I'm concerned it's well worth it and well deserved :)

This year I had to venture out on my own, I usually always go with my mommy, but seeing as I recently changed jobs I couldn't get Friday off and that's the only day my mom goes because she is convinced it's the best day to go.. I beg to differ but that's for another time..

So in order for me to go I had to wake up around 5:00 am and take Joey to work..shocking I know!! Me waking up so early on a Saturday morning!! But its Swiss Days its a must! Once i got back from taking Joey I tried to catch a couple more ZzZz's but I was to excited for the day ahead of me, I tossed and I turned for about 20 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore and I jumped (literally jumped) out of bed and started getting ready.. I finished getting ready a half hour before I really needed to leave and you can't get there to early because the booths don't open till 8:00.. so I twiddled my thumbs, cleaned a little, let Joey a note and finally looked at the clock to realize it was time, I COULD LEAVE! Racing out the door, I got in the car belted up and sped away! I had my breakfast in hand, good 'ol diet coke (my mom would be so proud) I set out to find my way to Midway! Thank goodness for my handy dandy navigator on my phone or else I probably never would have found it! You see I've never come from the north before, so it was all new and unfamiliar territory. But Mrs. GPS didn't let me get lost not even for one second, here is where I say thank you :)

Upon arriving in Midway a short hour and five minute drive later I meander through main street trying to remember where my favorite place to park is. Every year we park in the same little old lady's ranch pasture she has, it's right off main street and only costs five bucks, SCORE! Plus this is the cutest little lady you have ever seen, and I mean EVER!

Once I parked I made my way across main street and into the town center where everything is set up. My eyes were huge, I had to see everything!! So I slowly but surely made my way to each booth, some weren't my style, I don't need a dream catcher, so I would politely skip that one and continue onward. The ultimate goal is to get through before it gets to hot and to crowded, and boy can I tell you I kicked that goals trash this year!! I was in and out within three hours, I'm pretty sure that is a Swiss days record, go ahead look it up.

Of course you cant leave without buying a scone, and we're not talking any scone we are talking the most delicious scone you have ever tasted in your whole life and they're massive too! So on my way out I grabbed a scone sat down in the sun and enjoyed a little piece of heaven, it was the perfect way to end the perfect trip to my second favorite place on earth.. first favorite it Disneyland.. duh..
