Oktoberfest Sunday

As part of our Fruends of Oktoberfest, we were able to have lunch consisting of pork steak, dumplings, sauerkraut, pumpkin bars, brownies and drinks. Yummy. Although, they didn't provide ketchup for my dumplings. Now I know for next year. :)

Lord Help Me! Sam's 21!!!!!

Labor Day

Sunday of Labor Day weekend, Bobber asked what I wanted to do. But, he and Alex were not very receptive to my ideas so I asked what they wanted to do waited for a while and then made them get in the car without telling them where we were going. I had decided it was just easier for me to decide what I wanted to do and do it than tell them and listen to the arguments. So, here's what we did. We had lunch at Noodles & Company (my choice), we looked at cars (Bob's idea), played mini-golf and a few games at Action City (Alex's idea for games, mine for golf), drove up to Bloomer to look at cars (we were only 12 miles away from Irvine at this point), went to see the animals at Irvine (my choice) and went for ice cream at Olson's Ice Cream in Chippewa (everybody's idea). And, when we thought the day was done, we had dinner with my mom at our house. Overall it was a fun day and since they never knew where we were going, it was very peaceful!
