Tonight we went to the Oktoberfest in Glendale Heights and met Julie and Kevin and Allison and Pat for dinner and conversation. When we pulled into the parking lot, Julie and Kevin pulled in right behind us. What are the odds of that?
L came along. Here she is making a video of the surroundings.
After Allison and Pat arrived we moved to a table outside of the tent. It was so warm; too warm for the first day of fall. About 20 degrees warmer than it usually is this time of year. According to a news source I found, today was the third consecutive day of record-breaking high temperatures for Chicago. Friday's record was 92 degrees and by early afternoon, the temperature had already climbed to 93. Ugh.
A big tent, a German band, people dancing and the smell of sauerkraut in the air. Much more German than the Oktoberfest we went to last weekend.
Here's Andy's dinner - a bratwurst covered in mustard and a huge pretzel. We probably wouldn't have bought the pretzel but it was part of a Groupon we purchased to get in (admission for two adults, two beers and two pretzels, a $34 value, for $19. And we had a code for 20 percent off).
It certainly was a big pretzel. I didn't finish mine.
L played a balloon-dart carnival game and won this Pikachu.
