Oktoberfestin'

On Saturday we decided to take a little family outing and go for a drive to check out the fall foliage:
We ended up at the Donut Mill in Woodland Park. This was no accident. Micah had a definite destination in mind...and it definitely involved donuts.
Skylar inhaled 3 donut holes in about as many minutes which made her daddy proud. Then she wanted his donuts.
Later that day we headed up to Castle Rock with Nicole to met up with Kristy, Andy and Andy's mom Betty for Oktoberfest. As soon as we got out of the car Skylar was ready to go, no holding hands for her thankyouverymuch.
This Oktoberfest wasn't about the beer. It was more like a family carnival that was called an Oktoberfest with one beer vendor. So the day consisted of Skylar and her entourage of 6 adults going from place to place and watching her have fun while simultaneously eating bratwurst, cotton candy, funnel cakes, etc.
Nicole went through the obstacle course with her:
I got to ride on the flying orca's. (Why not airplanes??)
Every child should get to experience cotton candy 3 times the size of their head. It's what childhood is all about.
Kristy volunteered for petting zoo duty.
Skylar especially loved this hairy little pig. I think it reminded her of her puglet Jack.
We decided this llama's parents must have been siblings:
Micah took Skylar on the pony, probably the highlight of her day. She's been practicing on the penny horse at King Soopers and wasn't scared at all.
The signature look:
Andy, Betty and the funnel cake:
Andy took one for the team and volunteered to take Skylar on the swings even though he had just washed down his funnel cake with a beer.
We had a really fun day and can't wait until Micah starts his TWO MONTHS of vacation!!! He only has 2 more weeks in his job before turning over the reigns. We are looking forward to taking some more day trips before leaving Colorado!
