Margaret and Bill in his lederhosen.
Me in my dirndl.
The boys in their lederhosen.
Katie in her dirndl.
The beer hall (our garage). 
There weren’t any pictures that truly captured the “kinder-geist” – the large number of children running up and down the alleyway, thronging over the swingset and brandishing light sabres. We had over 60 kids here – most of them between the ages of 3 and 10.
The guests and some decorations.
Jenny, who needed to go to bed much earlier, finally curls up in a chair and falls asleep.

Oh do brag about the food! The saurbraten, brats, potatoes, and desserts were all delicious! Thanks so much!
Thanks, Catholic Mom!HWWTMBW: My kids think the Oktoberfest is GREAT. Not as good as Christmas, but it definitely ranks high! I know they’ll have great memories.
That looks like a really fun day!
Looks like a terrific success! Yay for you!
What fun! My Jack would have loved that…he’s very proud of his German heritage and he often gets sentimental about the time he spent stationed over there.
