Oktoberfest

Last Saturday was Oktoberfest in our neighborhood.  Here are some highlights.

This was the first time he really gave a moon bounce a try.   As you can see, he was a bit hesitant at first:
 
"Woh! I have to hold onto somfing.  What can I hold onto?"

Then he started to get the hang of it.  He started narrating everything that was happening to him.
"That little guy just hit my elbow.  That little kid just passed me off.  JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!"

Then he REALLY got the hang of it.  There were two boys a little older then three girls much older than him just playing along.  He then decided to shoot lasers at them in what seemed like a live action video game that only he knew they were all playing.  Once they caught on, it was great!  Please excuse my uncontrollable laughter.  You may want to turn your volume down for this one.  It was just too funny to see this little kid taking them all out like that.

Then they decorated pumpkins.  The poor kid ended up decorating two and we lost them both. 

Then we tried the face painting thing.  Mom's not so great at that:

This is the picture he took of himself with my phone:
Not too bad considering most of the pictures/videos on my phone are from him and are of random body parts of me or Mike.

Then night fell and the DJ and light sticks came out.  As you might expect, the main purpose of the light sticks were to be drum sticks.  Here's how he used them.
   
 
The poor kid was just starting to let loose before he poked himself in the eye with his glow stick.

But he had a great time.  The next morning the first thing he asked was, "What did you do with my glowey fings (things)?"  Poor kid!  Just wait, MP3, there will be plenty of glow sticks on Halloween and in Disney world!
