Oktoberfest in August?

Yes, Snowbird starts their Oktoberfest celebration this early!  This past weekend was their opening weekend.  I took the kids up there to ride the Alpine Slide while Andy was studying, but when we got there, the wait time for the slide was 60 minutes!  No way was I waiting in the hot Utah sun (and yes, even though it is cooler in the mts, it was still a very hot day for Snowbird!) with two kids by myself for that long.  So we settled on trying the bungy trampoline instead.  We had a wait, but not nearly as long as for the slide.

It was both kids first time on the bungy trampolines.  I fear it won't be their last after they got a taste of it.  Both kids had a blast.  Riley quickly learned how to do flips and Kendall even got to try one (with the help of a Snowbird staffer) before she got off!

Here are some pics of our fun day at the 'Bird:

Wish you could hear her squeals of delight!

He loved doing back flips!

Since it was Oktoberfest, I had to participate in the activities, right?  I mean, it was REALLY hot out and what tastes better on a hot day?  The downside of Oktoberfest is the cost per beer:  $6.50 for that little plastic cup of liquid refreshment!

 The kids enjoyed a snow cone and some ice cream while we were there too.

What would a trip to Oktoberfest be without a picture of my little Germans!  (Yes, both kids are very German from both sides)
