Day 273 - September 29

Our friend had his 3rd annual "BartoberFest" (his name is Bart, and it's Oktoberfest) celebration last night, and we were finally around to attend one! Of course, a two-month old baby is a little too young to leave with a babysitter - and away from the food supply - so we left Michaela with a sitter and took Cate with us.

Thank goodness for baby carriers, which are handy for keeping your arms free for things like plates full of yummy food. And beer.

At BartoberFest, you have to enjoy a little beer. It's a rule.

(In case you can't tell, I am drinking out of das Boot. Before anyone worries or wonders, I actually only had one regular-sized beer long before I had to drive us home - or feed the baby. This was Jason's drinking vessel for the evening. I was having a sip of Bart's home-brewed blueberry wheat beer and it presented a funny picture opportunity. No babies were harmed in the taking of this picture.)
