Yep, today was the start of Oktoberfest! :) We went to the parade this morning (had to wake Addi up from her nap, so she went in her pajamas) and enjoyed watching all the bierhall floats and band go by. Some strange jester blackened Addi and my noses - not sure what that's all about. Some interesting Oktoberfest custom. We also sat out at a bierhall and had a beer this afternoon, followed by a big trip to the grocery store - woo-hoo! Weather has been perfect too. A very good day all around.
