Swiss Days 2007

Swiss Days is a Santa Clara tradition of celebrating our Swiss heritage. Our family tradition is to run the annual Swiss Days 5K fun run. This year made for the most memorable Swiss Days adventure in a long time. The morning was beautiful.. an overcast sky, slightly breezy cool air. Perfect conditions for running a 5K. Then came the downpour. It was really exciting though. There was a double rainbow over the finish line and the rain felt nice.
Addy ran/walked the whole way!! With much help and encouragement from her uncle Nate and her sidekick, Sadie. I think they had a great time.
Addy won a trophy for being the youngest runner/finisher! She got to ride in the rainy parade. Although it rained on our parade, it was one of the most entertaining parades I've ever been to. My dad was the announcer at the end of the parade (because whoever was supposed to do it didn't show up). He had some good jokes. We all huddled under the tent with him to watch our Addy in the the parade.
