Two Fun Fests

I do realize I have fallen off the blogging wagon just a bit. But you know school comes, sickness comes, soccer arrives, and gymnastics and canning and gardening and work. So please excuse me. I do however have a few fun pics.
Saturday should have been spent getting my Son's ever lengthening locks cut and canning salsa but we just got to busy playing. In the morning we went to the Sky Fest. Tom's company is one of the sponsors and we like to make a visit in the morning. Usually they have fun stuff for the kids to do and that was seriously lacking this year but next year it will be my turn to wake up bright and early for one of the balloon rides. We came home and did some light cleaning and then headed off to the OctoberFest in Brian Head. Tom was a little excited to go.

Tom had to wear his German stuff and I promise you he was the only one wearing it besides the cooks and musicians. But did he care? Tom really cares very little what other people think of him most of the time. It is one of the reasons I love him. The OctoberFest was pretty low key but they had some real authentic German food that was extremely tasty and definitely too heavy for lunchtime. The kids liked the pretzels, brats and apple strudel. I loved it all and ate it all. Sorry Trudi for the pic of you with your mouth full.

We then listened to some good old fashioned German music. Isaac dared Tom and I to get out on the dance floor and although I totally offered to do a Polka with Tom he said he had no idea how to do it. Instead, we watched the kids dance. Lia has way too many boyfriends. Here is one of her friends/beaus twirling her across the dance floor.

After the kids had danced off all our calories we loaded up and headed up to the highest peak on the mountains for a short walk. We anxiously kept our kids from the edges while we gushed over the amazing view.


We came home tidied up some more as we got ready for the football game and more friends for dinner. It was more tasty food and I gained, at least, the entire two pounds back I lost last week. Aah Well, the outdoors, family, food and friends and Tom in a silly hat. Who could ask for more.

I lost today to migraines but I have every intention of getting that Salsa done tomorrow.
