Swiss kind of day...







Today I Visited my Swiss Roots and spent the day helping out my friend Audrey and Ross at the Swiss Days Festival in Santa Clara. It was super fun and I think I annoyed a billion people with my non stop talking :) TAKE THAT SANTA CLARANS!!!
1st - Helping w/ the Poutine Booth... So much fun! I was in charge of getting people to come try the food. It is a Canadian Dish of Fresh Cut fries, Cheese Curd and a Hot Canadian Gravy. We had a lot of brave people come an try the new dish and Hope they all liked it.
2nd- A shout out to my Great Grandpa. He came from Sainte Croix Switzerland when he was 11 with the missionaries and took up roots with the Schmutz Family adopting the last name for work. My mom has tapes of him telling stories of his home town and walking to the French border which was only a few miles in the mountains from his home. A very Beautiful place. (I'll post some pics)
