Swiss Days

Last weekend was Swiss Days in Santa Clara and Heritage Days in Ivins. On Friday night we went to the outside carnival and fireworks show they had in Ivins. Big Buddy was the only one who didn't cry during the fireworks. Samuel and Bella finally stopped crying and then Samuel informed us that he didn't want to go there ever again. On Saturday we took the kids to the Swiss Days parade. They love parades - or I should say they love the candy!

Samuel running with a handful of candy. There were quite a few kids all around us so he really had to fight for every piece. He was so proud of himself each time he got a hand full.

Every since Chuck read Samuel a Star Wars book he has been fascinated with Darth Vader so imagine how excited he was to see this parade entry coming down the street. Samuel has been telling us for months he wants to be Darth Vader for Halloween.

Bella with an otter pop, a sucker and another piece of candy in her hand. She would take a few licks of the sucker then switch to the otter pop. She was shoving candy in her mouth as fast as Samuel could gather it.
