Oktoberfest!!!

"Wait a minute...I thought we were at Oktoberfest! What's going on?!?"



For everyone who has been DYING to see a recent picture of my belly, here's to you!



This is Jake with "Charlie the Unicorn". Well not really, but you could imagine. If you really want to know more, talk to Jake. Further information will either disgust you or make you laugh your head off. Just a warning...:)



Ethan's first carnival ride! He went on the carousel and rode the Giraffe with Daddy. We got some great footage on our video camera, but I have no idea how to transfer it, so you'll just have to imagine how much fun this kid had. He loved it! Every time he came around he would laugh at me. (It probably helped that Jake kept tickeling him though too...) Oh, and did I mention that Jake sweet talked the Mexican ticket guy into going on the ride for free? Nice, baby. Nice.



At the end when we were tired, we sat down and watched a ventriliquist for a while. He was amazing! I don't know how the heck they do that!

Overall it was a great time! They had rides, music, chicken hats, popcorn, contests and tons of booths where Jake was in heaven winning free stuff. We even got this little bank from Century 21 that we used for our family night tonight. (We spray painted it black, glued on an old missionary tag of Jake's and made it Ethan's mission savings bank for his room. It was Jake's idea - isn't my husband so brilliant?! It turned out way cute...more pictures to follow.)
Anyway, we managed to see pretty much everything and even stayed sober! What a feat for us Mormons! Hooray for Oktoberfest, the fall season and especially cooler weather!
