May Fest

This past weekend was the annual May Fest celebration in Lincoln Square. After spending Saturday morning helping Emily move, we headed out to spend some time outside enjoying the weather and the festival. We also played some carnival games. John, Elizabeth and Maggie played competitive games and won prizes. I wanted to be sure to get a prize, so I played a game meant for 4-year olds where you were guaranteed to get a prize. (I realize this was a little ridiculous.) But I walked away with a big furry frog.

After the festival became too crowded and we had just been there too long we walked up Lincoln to a karoake bar called The Hidden Cove. I don't usually sing, but Emily talked me into it. We sang Take a Chance on Me by Abba.

For everyone who missed out - don't dismay. There will be another German festival in late September. Jeff's parents will likely be visiting us that weekend and we will be sure to go.

In other news, Jeff starts his new job tomorrow! And he shaved his beard!
