Some of you don't know this, but I am certified to teach German. Scary, right? One thing I do remember about all of my German classes was our "birthday" song, "Hoch soll sie lieben" (Long may she live). We would raise our juice glasses high and chant "Hoch Hoch Hoch" (which I believe means 'cheer'). Anywho...that was all to interpret my title : )
Up in our little slice of Texas (down for most of you) we celebrated Oktoberfest this past weekend. {Mom, you have to come next year.} Now, not everything was up to the Germans standards BUT all in all it was "sehr gut" (very good). They had a live German band, that even included the necessary German cheers (to toast one another with our beers).
Anna may have even been "discovered" there. She was so moved by the music, she just had to dance! You can't tell from the video, but she drew in quite a crowd around her (you can hear the hollers and 'you go girl' in the background). At about 55 seconds she finally stops to look around her and gets a little stage fright : )
After Anna took off her dancing shoes we checked out the market, and even watched a train go by!
Adults weren't the only ones that partook of the beer. Root beers all around for the kiddos. (or as Eli put it, "a beer that floats")
This where is starts getting REALLY questionable. They served sno cones out of a pirate ship (this is typically down the street from us, but they must of moved it for the big event). Given a choice between a Streusel or a sno cone Eli chose a sno cone....wonder why.
Regardless of some questionable attractions, we had a good enough time to shout, "Danke Schoen" on our way out : )
