Oktoberfest

Boys dancing by the light of the moon........

Oktoberfest is a must, it gives me the opportunity to do the Chicken Dance at least once a year. Thanks to my father we always have tickets and attend to support the High Noon Rotary. My father worked the hot dog/sausage booth from 12pm to 4pm. On our way to soccer, Finn and I stopped by for lunch so we could get a close up look at Grandpa serving hot dogs with sauerkraut.

Evening festivities began at 7pm, we met at Violets home since she is conveniently located steps from the Oktoberfest. Not sure if this a positive or negative for her and her neighbors when 10pm rolls around and you can still hear German Polkas from the living room.

Tiago & Dev

It's getting harder and harder keeping him on my hip.

Why do they grow up so fast?

Love this photo of Dev & Todd

Everything turns into an adventure

when you have Finn and Tiago along.

Walking to Oktoberfest

Tiago & Finn kept our path well lighted.

We felt very protected!

Sisters enjoying German sausages.

Diving into sauerkraut, German potato salad and Chicken Apple Bratwurst. Check out Tiago, wondering why his ears are covered? The Band was getting a little loud.....

Homemade Hot Cotton Candy, this has become a rarity in San Diego. Our County Fair no longer offers freshly made Cotton Candy, it is all pre-made, pre bagged....horrific tasting.

With Devon's braids, the blond and blue eyes....

you could believe they were both German!

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Beer for the adults....Jumpees for the children.

She was the clown of the day,

she made swords and helmets for both boys.

Ready for battle, let's hope they don't

encounter a porcupine.

We couldn't get over the freshly made Cotton Candy.

Fat Free

Still didn't get on the scale Sunday morning.

Thumbs Up to the Local Police Dept,

they kept everyone safe & well-behaved.

Don't let October pass without doing the Chicken Dance.....
