Last night we went for a walk at Howe Meadow, or "Africa" as we call it. Everyone wanted to take pictures; the photos below were taken by everyone and four cameras.

Beckwith Orchard

The girls had the day off from school yesterday. Joan took the girls to Beckwith Orchard; she brought the little pocket Canon Elph 100HS along but managed to get some very fun shots. Mr. Beckwith, himself, spoke with them for quite awhile. He showed them a "teaching hive" in a glass case that you can watch the hive action. In this hive we saw a queen bee being made. The workers bees fed one special larva royal jelly until she hatches. The actually feed two larva and first one to hatch will kill the other.

Father Hengle's Retirement Dinner

Father Hengle is retiring this week. The Sponsi Club held an Oktoberfest dinner in his honor. The German Family Society's Junior Youth Group was invited to perform. Of the 20 Junior Youth Group members performing tonight, nine attend Our Lady of Victory Church. Before the performance I noticed a thick ray of golden evening sun shining on one wall of the church. I corralled the kids into the patch for a few impromptu photos. They were terrific sports and danced well. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Cousin Terri Visits

We had a delightful but short visit with my niece, Terri. She is a flight attendant for Delta and had a 17 hr. layover in Akron from late Saturday night to Sunday afternoon. We brought her along to Annika's soccer game before returning her to the airport.

Oktoberfest was insane last night. The parking lots and soccer fields were completely filled and the lines were by far the longest anyone had ever seen. Everyone worked their butts off trying to keep up. I think contributing factors were: This was the 40th annual Akron German Family Society Oktoberfest; on average, its been growing in attendance every year. The weather was beautiful. Cuyahoga Falls did not schedule their fake Oktoberfest (which is 80% the same as St. Patty's Day or any other fest they throw) on the same weekend as ours. And, we made the cover and feature story of Enjoy! (our newspaper's weekend arts and entertainment guide). On that note they ran five of my photos from last year's Oktoberfest, including the cover photo.
