Already last year we participated at the Swiss parade organized by the Swiss Club of Melbourne/Victoria. This year, too, Christy expressed her interest in participating. The only challenge, during the move between places we had got rid of the lantern.
This meant that dad ended up making another one. We just made a single one this year and as last year let Sydney color it. The outcome can be admired in the pictures below.
On the actual day, August 1st, we met at Federation Square where they Swiss flag flew on the many tall flag poles. The group, which seems to grow each year, walked from Federation Square along the Yarra and back to the Swiss Club.
Upon arrival, the kids got a little nibble to eat and enjoyed running around. Sydney was super excited and loved the fact that there were more girls in her age. Maybe we should be going on a more regular basis and meet them.
