Oktoberfest? Must be October!

Friday evening was a treat because we met up with Uncle Jack at BJ's Restaurant and Bar. As some blog readers may remember Uncle Jack will occasionally fly into Arizona as part of his pilot training and so we always make time for one of our favorite Uncles (when your Uncle flies a Jet, he's automatically one of the favorites).

Here we can see Uncle Jack sitting at some kind of high table with Thomas and Mommy. Some other people in the restaurant yelled things like, "Why's yo baby in a bar?" I had to gently remind them that we were in a restaurant style establishment.

Here we see everyone smiling because after drinking from those tiny little glasses 2 or 3 times everyone becomes more silly.

After telling Uncle Jack goodbye, we stopped over at Tia Leia and Uncle Steve's house (Uncle Steve can't fly a jet, but he is the best napper around). Tia Leia was packing for a big trip to the East Coast where she would spend time with Auntie Laura, so Thomas grabbed a box and jumped in. The idea was that Tia Leia could just take Thomas with her to go see Auntie Laura!

All in all our weekend was really great. All these pictures are only from Friday night, and this video below is from Thomas on Sunday morning.

Saturday was spent cheering on the ASU Sundevils as they lost :-( And Saturday night was fun because Gramma Katie hung out with Thomas while Jenn and I went to Tempe's Annual Oktoberfest. We attended last year with the same friends, and it was fun because Jenn remembers how last year she was pregnant and couldn't drink all the Oktoberfest-style beers. The festival is always crowded and there is a lot to see and do.

Sunday morning was spent with a little church visit, this Sunday only Thomas and I attended because everyone else in our normal group has been a little under the weather. After church we drove to Phoenix and had lunch with friends Eli and Rachel (pictures from lunch are coming soon). After lunch we went back to Oktoberfest- this time to drink some beers with Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack was suppose to fly out of town Saturday but they had some radio problems and they got stuck in Arizona for a couple more days, which was a nice treat for us, because we got some more Oktoberfest.
