This weekend was Oktberfest, like I said I normally don't venture towards downtown when events are happening. However, this weekend was an exception. I despise football season at our house. The only game I'll watch is one that I in the stadium seat at. Daddy Dearest's world revolves around college football. Not wanting to be subjected to random profanities and loud yelling, we decided to get out of the house. One of my friends decided to join us. Her husband was busy this weekend, and I think she was craving some adult company (Lord knows I can sympathize with that).
We met downtown about 3 and she was already in line for face painting, so we got to join in with her. About an hour later, it was our turn. Turkey Butt almost had a meltdown because I didn't want to shell out $15 for the design he wanted. Never mind the fact that we already had a $14 string puppet panda. We managed to compromise and he settled on a scary red dragon! The girls decided on cute kitty cats and butterflies. Sweet Pea didn't have the opportunity to participate as I am sure she would not have been very cooperative during the process!
After face painting, we created some beautiful fall art. TB is quite the artist.
Next, we made the rounds and climbed on the fire trucks. My favorite was the one from Margaritaville Fire Department!
After a brief visit to the bounce house (it's just too hot, said TB) we stopped at Mom and Pop Corn Company for yummy popcorn. Gotta love fall and carmel corn!
Our last stop was a pony ride. Turkey Butt was a big boy and rode all by himself. He thinks next time he visits Aunt 'Lissa's he can ride a 'big horse' by himself. We'll have to see about that!
We really had a good time. There were a lot of people, but it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't do it again! In fact, I think we're planning on going back for Dickens of a Christmas in November!
