Amid the excitement and sloth of the last few weeks, we've delayed telling you about the fine time we had at the Acton, MA Oktoberfest celebration with Adam, Christi, Margot, Brian and Edith. Really, it has everything you want in an Oktoberfest, except beer, oompah bands, lederhosen, and the chicken dance.
Well, then, what did it have? Soren won a traditional Bavarian lollipop...
...and insisted on the highest form of Schwarzwald-region pastry, a frosted cookie shaped like a school bus (that cost $3 due to German wage rates, but was good for 90 minutes, so not a bad value)...
...and we saw the traditional Rhine jaws of life demonstration (which we have managed to miss by less than 10 minutes in each of our previous visits)...
...and Margot showed us some of the card tricks that are popular among babies on the streets of Berlin.
The day reminded us that we'd just missed Fall last year, since Fall in Alaska is about 20 minutes long; we just love these harvest festivals, so we'll probably go to more this month.

gramma liebt Sie, Soren.
Oh, yeah, Fall is totally over with, and has been for a month. It's probably as cold in my house as it is in your yard right now. Seriously.
