Mike and Renee had purchased matching hats for us to wear. Our little red hats provided to be quite useful while we were in crowds of people. We could easily spot eachother!
Jer couldn't resist trying on my little red hat - so we just had to swap and get a picture!
Mike and Renee had 1st class tickets...but we made them sit back in coach with us so we could chat and play pinocle! We had a nice ride...it was great to sit back, relax and not worry about traffic.
We arrived in Munich and just couldn't help but dress like most of the other Oktoberfest goers...
A very common site - men in lederhosen!
We had a great time together.
People, people, everywhere! Look at all those BUSES in the parking lot! 
Mike and Renee in the restaurant....Kimber getting her picture taken with this kind gentleman.
Bavarian cream.....yum! There is more to Oktoberfest than just beer!
We were walking by one of those "test your strength" places - and Jer just had to try to prove his might. He hit the bell twice and won me a rose!
We went on the ferris wheel so we could get a view of the Oktoberfest grounds and Munich.
People, people, everywhere! Look at all those BUSES in the parking lot!
Later in the afternoon we headed into a little restaurant. It was a neat little place, with lots of interesting things hanging on the walls and from the ceiling. There was one particular stuffed creature that we still aren't sure if it was chicken, rabit, deer or all three put together!

As we were heading back to the train station I asked Jer to do his "happy kick". He had done one that morning - right after he had purchased his lederhosen - and I so wanted to capture it on camera. Here he goes....
He takes a little running jump and clicks his heals together while in the air. He does this on occasion when we are out and about together. Oktoberfest was definately worth his "happy kick"! And Jer in lederhosen makes it all the more hilarious!
Thanks for a fun filled day - Mike and Renee - we hope we didn't wear you out too much. We let them sit in their 1st class seats on the way home. We were separated by 14 train cars. Mike walked down to our end one time...and said it took him a good 10 minutes or so....especially on a wobbeling train. We mostly tried to sleep on way home anyway, as it had been a long, but GREAT day!
Thanks again to our wonderful friends - the Cire's and the Pajwani's - that watched our kids for us so we could enjoy Oktoberfest 2009!
