Oktoberfest

This past weekend we attended our city's Oktoberfest. Last year we went and there was not a bratwurst or beer sold at the entire carnival...how can that be a true Oktoberfest? So this year we opted to take Nolan for some rides and then plan on brats and beer at our place afterwards with some friends. It worked out well because there was a discount wrist band (one price you ride unlimited rides) from 1-5. Without wanting to sound negative, I'll say that I was a bit disappointed in the ride selection, it really was a small carnival...smaller than last year. That being said, Nolan, Abby & Alex didn't seem to notice because they had a great time.
Abby and Nolan had a great time on this kids version of a roller coaster, which they kept calling a "train." So much fun in fact that Rob could sit idle no longer and had to join in on the fun. Oh, and he brought Alex along, too:
A family photo (looking at this, I realize I should have made them stand in front of say, a ride, rather than a random camper).
Bumper cars, the dad's had to ride, but I don't think they minded! This, believe or not, was the kids' favorite "ride." Big slide, don't ya think?That brave tiny speck up there is Nolan. Abby was right behind him...they loved this thing!It was a great Saturday and Nolan for one was a tuckered out little boy!
