We decided the family needed a weekend get away complete with a hotel room so we went to the German Festival called Oktoberfest this past weekend. We had a blast. Katie loved Radio Disney and the Kids tent.
Did you know that it was the Germans that came up with the chicken dance we parents just love to do with our children? They brought it over in 1981 to the first Oktoberfest celebration. It seemed as though we did the chicken dance a million times that weekend. I even competed with other ladies for prizes for the best chicken dancer. Can you imagine a big pregnant lady shaking her "tail feather"? It was hysterical according to Cory and Katie. I did not win, the much more larger older lady won with the sympathy vote. Katie even asked me if she and daddy were the only ones cheering for me. I was a little embarassed.
At another time the announcer called for 10 ladies over the age of 18 to come forward to win a prize (a $3.oo chicken mask) of course Katie wanted it and not wanting to disappoint her, I went forward. The things we do for our kids. To my suprise, I had to yodel. I was giggling so much that my yodel came out pittiful and not really a yodel. The announcer said, no one could hear me if I called from the mountain. Once again, I was embarassed. Take a look at our pictures!

You guys have way too much fun! I'm glad you got a weekend getaway. Charley is learning to chicken dance early! He will surely fit right in with the family. ;)
