Oktoberfest Saturday

9-13-2010 ~ Blog #348 ~ David & Joan.

  In spite of rain on Saturday night, this year's Oktoberfest at the Akron German Family Society in Brimfield was fantastic.  The kids and all four dance groups performed exceptionally well and attendance was record-breaking.  Our girls had a lot of fun dancing which shows in their stage presence and smiles.  Several people commented on how they were a joy to watch. 

These are the mother and daughter Kindergruppe dance teachers

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

(and they came bearing gifts)

Grandma and Grandpa have been visiting for the past week.  Tomorrow they head to Massachusetts for my father's 60th high school reunion.  They will return in a week and stay with us for another week.

Merry-Go-Totter Fun

Ready for School

The mornings are cool and crisp, but we've been taking the Stang with the top down no matter what. 

Ready for the Opera

I went garage sailing with Mom on Saturday, two of my finds are pictured below.

Happy Fourteenth Anniversary David and Joan

Yesterday we celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary.  Grandma and Grandpa Hall cooked a lovely roast beef dinner.

Tree Lickers

Some joker told the girls that a certain species of tree tastes like either vanilla or strawberry.  We noticed afterward a Google search left open for: "tree bark that tastes like vanilla or strawberry".  I think they were on to us.

The girls with all four grandparents.

Tree View

Svea climbed the pine tree behind the neighbor's shed to take this picture.  Wish I could say this was our yard!
