Oktoberfest Weekend

As usual, for O-Fest, the weather this weekend left much to be desired. I wasn't sure I'd even make it. Luckily things worked out for the best.

Saturday was dreary and rainy. It was a great excuse to hang out with the family at Mom & Dad's. We dressed for game day and cheered the Beavers in their victory over the Louisville Cardinals. We pigged out on one of Mom's awesome home cooked meals and marionberry crisp.

Sunday the weather dried up, so we headed out to the Oktoberfest at Mt. Angel. We spent a few hours wandering the festival and eating, which is the best reason to go. I love the food at fairs and festivals. Today's menu of choice was sausage with sauerkraut, deep fried mushrooms and onion rings followed by an elephant ear. We opted to not buy our way into the gartens, so no beer or wine, but it was yummy all the same. And I finally saw the Glockenspiel through a complete cycle.
