oktoberfest

my mother-in-law invited me to go with her to oktoberfest. so, jack and i went! oktoberfest is a German celebration. i really don't know what they are celebrating... could it be beer?:) i think that is what most would say. we had a brat (naturally!) for lunch, shopped-shopped-shopped, had some apple studel (of course) and a mocha, listened to a huge men's chorus singing german songs ("schnaps!" was, amusingly enough, one.), saw some native dancing, and i stood in line for an eon for a balloon alligator for jack. it was the best time! jack loved the live music. he was such a good boy. he loves to get out of the house and go on adventures.
