Fredricksburg Oktoberfest

This morning started out with the intentions of another kid-friendly day. We took Nico to get a donut at Dripping Springs Donuts (his Thursday morning hangout), and we told him that we would take him to the zoo afterwards. Well, his misbehavior frustrated us to the point that we took away his zoo privileges right then and there! As we were then wondering what the heck we were going to do all day, David realized that it's Fredricksburg Oktoberfest weekend! And westbound we headed! Prost!......

Another beautiful drive through hill country. Felt like we were on vacation with some of the views. (The picture totally doesn't do this area justice.)

We all had a blast at this place. There were people everywhere, polka bands, food and beer, and also a kids carnival section. Since the event was held in the middle of downtown, there were shops and restaurants up and down the street for what seemed like a mile long. We ate lunch outdoors on a patio at a German place.

Nico won a balloon with a few tickets from the games he played. This would have been his highlight of the day, if not for the fire station nextdoor to the event. He's obsessed with fire trucks and the noise they make.

We were all worn out after a day out there, and it was naptime for us all when we got back! Our friends down the street came over later that night and we hung out and ate pizza.

Life is good.
