Today we attended our 6th annual Oktoberfest parade in La Crosse but it was Phoebe's first fest. I can't believe that last year when everyone was enjoying the festivities we were bringing Phoebe home from the hospital. My dad joined us this year and was able to fully grasp the spectacle of the Oktoberfest parade, something you have to see to believe. FYI - It is a four hour parade that is more a big city party than a parade. People will start "staking their claim" the day before, although technically you aren't allowed to set your stuff out until midnight. Everyone brings tons of food, beer, and of course brats. We had a great time this year, as always!
Phoebe and Audra particularly enjoyed their homemade "letter" pretzels. I enjoyed donning my authentic "frau frock". A dress my grandmother brought back from her time in Germany, in the 50's.
Ben and his friend Brad had a good time marking spots for the horses to....well use your imagination
Phoebe and Audra had a great time with their grandpa and both enjoyed some much needed rest during the looooong parade.

You look HOT! Love you!
Your hair is super cute - tempting me to go shorter. Your dress is not. :)
