Where's your tongue?

Don't you dare make a face when I take your picture...

ELENA! What did I just say?!?

Have a great weekend everyone. Elena sends her tongue... er, I mean her best.

Ein sehr regnerisches Oktoberfest

Translation: A very rainy Octoberfest


Why is Jen the little boy? ha ha

Dad looks kinda scary - maybe he's had too many steins of beer...

Elena was not a fan of the brat with kraut. Cream puffs? ...YES!

We braved the Sunday rain for some beer, brats, Reubens, and pastries. Yum!

I have to admit I was sad at the thought of not attending Oktoberfest this year due to my work schedule. However it worked out that we could go Sunday night for our 3rd out of the last 4 years attendance record. (3 yrs ago we were in Akron). Yes, it was raining quite a bit and yes I had TWO raincoats in my hands before we left yet neither made it into the car before we left so I got a bit more wet than anyone else at the fest. Go figure.

Elena did very well in her stroller even though it was raining most of the time. During a brief hiatus from the showers she held my hand and walked about a quarter of the way holding my hand tight. She's never done that before for more than a minute or so.

After we got enough of the rain and very yummy - albiet wet food, we decided to head back. Thanks to Mike Weller for the company and taking the pics. We hope to extend our attendance streak next year.

Btw, Elena is getting so smart. She's really starting to identify objects and follow commands. Our little girl is growing before our eyes.
