Welcome to my #wednesdaywalk post! Now, none of the pictures here happened on a Wednesday, no, but last Saturday. I did however, take a nice long walk today before posting this. So, I think it counts. Does it? I guess @tattoodjay will tell me one way or the other.
We had a family outing with big brother and the grandparents last weekend at Oktoberfest! Yes, I know, alcohol and kids don't mix, but I promise, I only had maybe 8 ounces the whole 4 hours we spent there. I tasted a few beers and chuckled at the other drunk people. I think my boy was already twisted when we got there, 45 minutes after they had arrived. Tackle him girls!

Well, some people knew I was ready to take a picture, after three tries? This was the best one I got of them all (minus pops).

Food!
You can't go to an ethnic celebration and not try the food, right?! And they did. I bought two different kinds of schnitzels - chicken and pork. That was about the only thing they could stomach besides the big pretzels. The spätzle I thought would go over better, since they love various pastas like rice and spaghetti and such, but that was a no go. Of course, besides the pretzels, cupcakes were all Freya wanted. LOL!

Dancing!
Door Prizes?
So, for every ticket, there was a number attached that would be associated with a door prize. They gave one out every 2 hours and lucky me, I won within the first hour of being there! There were several things to choose from, like a car repair kit, a bunch of frig'n beer, gift cards for restaurants and things like that. I opted to meet the (not so) local author - Rita M. Reali - and made (asked) her to sign the books she put up for a prize! It also came with a cup and they threw a T-shirt at me from somewhere. I changed right there and got some cat calls and heavy breathing from the crowd 😝

And of Course - The BEER!
Ended up trying them all, but by the time we went up for round two at one o' clock, they were already out of 4 of them. 2, 10 and 6 were my favorites. I honestly don't drink a lot of beer and ales, but as I have stated a time or two, I do like to try new things. I wouldn't even be on Hive if I wasn't a bit of a chance taker, HA!

- "What do you think of the beer, Freya?"

All in all, it was an interesting outing. I met all kinds of different people and the girls got to see a piece of a different culture. Whatever you intend to do, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even while designated driving.

We have a German Oktoberfest near here too. Didn't go this year but have been in past years, always fun. Looks like you've got some classy dancers there - not a shy one in the bunch, lol. Glad you all had a great family outing!
Oh ya, was awesome. I'm glad the girls got into it 😁
Hey mate you know I don’t like rules so of course this is ok
In fact since I post my walk normally around 7:45 my walk is never on the day I post it
Sound like you all had a great time there but I think watching your princesses dance was the highlight of the day for you
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
Ha ha! I thought as much. Happy to let you see more than you would in your own neighborhood. 😁
Cheers
I hope all is well with you
