Oktoberfest!

Yeah!!! We made it back to LaCrosse/Onalaska for Oktoberfest this year. We missed it last year because Heather was set to deliver Isaac to the world anytime. It is always a good time for three reasons. #1 lots of our friends come back for the event. #2 They have numerous beer tents and never run out of beer. And finally, #3 The parade provides a great excuse to drink beer and people watch. It can be quite entertaining.

This was a new addition to the parade. The OktoberBREAST float. On the side of the float is a bunch of newly added bras. I think the float is suppose to raise awareness for breast cancer but it does it in a naughty way. Go Breast Cancer Awareness Marketing Team! There has to be a frat boy or two on that team. That or the organizer for Marti Gra.

Team Anderson: Mike, Rachel, and Mitch, throw Momma Anderson in their and you have one hell of a beer drinking team.

My brother Matt and his wife Tyra joined us for the parade. Matt played the role of a good younger brother and made sure I ate some food during the parade instead of drinking my lunch.

My friend Shawn. He was in a case race with a few other fellas. He came up with the mind blowing idea of attaching the case to his pants with his belt. Not only was his beer always close, but it also provided a place to set his beer when he need to pee. Who said college doesn't pay off?

The weekend did have a little creepyness to it. We decided to go to the north side fest grounds later that night. Normally we stick to the south side fest grounds were most of the younger crowd hangs out. We should have stuck with that plan. The north side fest grounds were more than a little scary. I will spare you the gory details and sum it up in one sentence. Men and Women past the age of 50 dressing and drinking like they were in their 20's. Imagine a college party with a 50 + age demographic. Not that they aren't allowed to have fun, I just wasn't ready to see it.
