Heizen (too hot) Oktoberfest


The "German in us" pulled the fam (see pics) to the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest. We talked Steve out of wearing his Lederhosen, but not his hat. Hildi dawned a Germanic dress (see her graceful dance at right), Finn a German soccer uniform and Sarah wore all black (in retrospect sort of Hans & Fransish). Dorks huh? Against our best judgement we waited nearly an hour in various lines in 92 degree heat for pony rides, jumpy things, etc. Mom and Dad were READY for the beer garden! We were there long enough to do the chicken dance and sing along to some great songs like Ziggy Zoggy, Ziggy Zoggy, Oi Oi Oi and Melody of Love. File this under "what were we thinking," but we had fun anyway.
