Waaaay back in January I applied to be a vendor at Swiss Days - we were still living in SC and I wasn't really sure what I'd do if I got accepted but just felt like I should apply. And what do you know, I got in! It's a huge, hard show to get into so I was super excited and just decided I'd figure it all out when time got closer. Well....then we decided we were supposed to come back to Grace and I was going to be able to do Swiss Days. I spent long days prepping and as always was over-prepared BUT had a great time. I was grateful we didn't get rained on...but the afternoon sun was no fun to sit through. My parents came and helped us set up then Brad and Candace came and helped us the last day, it was fun to hang out. I was super frustrated as my one supplier didn't get my product shipped when he was supposed to then he decided on his own to ship it differently then he ever had so my good sat in customs in SLC for over a week...ugh, they missed the first day of Swiss days but thankfully Brand and Candace were able to pick the stuff up and bring it to me for the second day. Just a bummer that I didn't have my tree skirts and other things the first day.
All in all it was a fun successful couple of days!
On Saturday evening we got cleaned up then headed to Vernal. My parents had taken the kids home with them to go to the Hoopes reunion at Stans. We got in real late Saturday night and got up on Sunday and went over to Stans to spend the day with everyone at the reunion. I'm glad we were able to make it happen as it has been a long time since we've made it to the Hoopes Reunion. We stayed until Monday morning, went to breakfast with Bo, Aunt Toni and Mom and Dad then headed for home. Got to Grace, unloaded the uhaul rental trailer then LeGrand took it back to Preston to return it - whew, what a weekend! Tiring but fufilling
