I love Labor Day . . . there is nothing better than a Monday holiday. You don't get the Sunday blues thinking of going to work the next day and you get a shorter work week to boot. It's great and we wanted to make the most of it. We started out going to Swiss Days early on Saturday morning. I absolutely LOVE Swiss Days in Midway . . . a giant craft fair that I have been going to for years. But, the trick is to get there early, right when it opens at 8, and then we are done by 11 or so when the many strollers start to appear and crowd the tight rows. Kristen is holding the coveted item . . . the booth that always has a huge line . . . the wrapping paper. They have cute styles that you just can't find anywhere. We also ended up with some other fun decorations. And, we can't go to Swiss Days without a giant scone and other delectable treats . . . yummm!
Then, the Bird's Nest gals thought it would be fun to get a place up in the Canyons . . . so after church, we scurried up there and invited the family up for dinner and to hang out.
The kids all easily fit on one of the beds.
Emma and Melinda
Sara enjoyed the mega tub . . . and the soft bathrobes
Kristen and Jacob
Julie and Jena
Grandpa and Sara
We had fun playing games together and snacking on Kristen's famous guacamole and Holli's scrumptious pina coladas . . . the ingredients to which are always a staple in my pantry.
The next day, Kristen and Melinda and I took to our phones to find a great place for lunch . . . and boy did we find one. There were great reviews for a sushi place in a strip mall in Kimball Junction called Shoyu Sushi House. Once we found it, we tried several rolls and we loved it. I think we all agree that our personal favorite was the salmon crunch roll that was filled with crab, avocado and other delights, then smothered in a salmon topping that we pretty much licked off of the plate. We would definitely go there again. Then on to shopping at the Park City outlet malls . . . along with everyone else in the valley. The line to get in to park was ridiculous! But, once we were in there, we had some good success. Sushi and shopping . . . the makings of a perfect day.
