Octoberfest

We went to Octoberfest this year.  We remembered it from a few years ago when we lived here last.  Only last time The Captain had to wear a sweater.  Seriously?  I don't remember it being that cold, but here's proof.

Wow.  Time flies.  At least he still has little sausage fingers. 

This time is was much warmer.  Even with the storm (more on that later). The food was delicious. And we learned a new alternative to the chicken dance while we were eating, which is always a good idea.

And we got to see some of the entertainment.  We made a porto-potty stop and got dessert, then it started raining, so we popped into the nearest tent, which just happened to be the Kinder Tent.  We watched the end of two musicians' act, then these guys were up.  They were magicians, too.

 We got a lot of company because it started seriously raining. Like pool in the middle of the floor, raining.  It's hard to see in the small version of the picture, sorry. 

 And just when we started enjoying ourselves, 

 The police officers made us go to the covered parking garage because it was a severe storm.  

But it was past bedtime anyway, so we just walked in the rain, found our car, and went home.  

We did have fun though.
