Swiss Picnic

We had our annual Swiss Picnic today to celebrate Swiss Independence day which is on the 1st of August. Every first Sunday in August the Swiss people in the area get together and have a picnic. I don't know how long we've been going to the picnic, but it's been a long time and I love going to them. There is always great food there and people bring little toys, chocolate, Swiss jam, etc. that we hand raffle tickets out for and when your number is called you get to pick a prize. This year a lady brought this cute toy that all the kids wanted and of course Heather and I were eyeing it too. Well, this year they made the rule that if a parent's number got called then they would let their kid go first to make sure that all the kids got a prize. Well my dad's number got called second, so Heather got to go and guess what she picked? Of course the cute toy that everyone wanted. Here's a picture of it. You can't see it from the picture, but there's a spring on the back so
you can make it bounce. We also had a lady come and play her alpine horn for us and she was pretty good. There was this cute little old guy there that we found out made the biggest alpine horn in the world by hand, 35" across at the opening of the horn. Now my dad's trying to see if he can get one from this guy, which would be awesome if he could. I want one too. :) After the raffle we had the auction with the bigger stuff and the money from that goes to help pay for the band shelter that we rent at the park. Overall it was a good time, with great food, and good people.





This is the Zaugg's cute little granddaughter Alta. My dad put his hat on her and she just sat there and stared at him with this look like why did you just put that on my head? It was the cutest thing.
