House Full of Family

We've never had so many people staying in our house - and it was fabulous. Dad flew out from Wisconsin for a visit and then Brock, Amber, Madison, Isaac, and Hannah (Sampson too) decided to drive down from Bozeman to join in on the family fun.

The weather was more winter-like than Fall. We spent a fair amount of time just hanging out around the house. The kids played together non-stop. We ventured out for a snowy trek up to Cecret Lake. We all worked up an appetite and drove down the road to the Snowbird parking lot where we scarfed down our sandwiches and then caught a jam-packed bus up to Octoberfest. I think we set a record for the shortest visit at Octoberfest. We did a quick walk through past all the booths of items for sale, paused briefly to listen to the polka music under the warm tent, stood in amazement of the line people were willing to stand in for a $9 sausage and then turned around and headed out. I think that is one of those things we can now say, "been there, done that" with no desire to go back again. The event was good for people watching if nothing else. I'll look for photos on Amber's site since I forgot to bring my camera.
