Oktoberfest

Family Photo

We got all gussied up and went to the Sacramento Turnverein's annual Oktoberfest again this fall.  Lots of fun!  We went when the doors opened on Saturday afternoon at 3pm and met up with several friends of ours who also have children Lulu's age (and younger).  The STV also had a children's arts/crafts area set up upstairs, so we were able to have a LOT of fun before leaving at a decent hour to get Lulu into bed (and leaving before the crazy college kids came out of the woodwork to get their drink on).

Our friend's Paul and Sarah brought a store-bought cake with them to celebrate their younger son, Tommy's, birthday.  So, we have some random birthday cake photos in here as well.

A little daddy-daughter time was had....

I tried out the holding a beer stein in one hand contest (but without actually being in the contest--I just held it off to the side).  I compared later and the weight of the half-full glass I was holding was pretty comparable to the empty ones they were holding with a weight in the bottom.  I think, if I practiced, I could take 'em next year!

The band sang Happy Birthday and we cut into the cake...which had blue icing.
