A little bit of Bavier in South Florida


Sunday we decided to do something a bit different for us.  Via Groupon we got tickets for Octoberfest at the American German Club at the Palm Beaches.  It was more fun than we could have imagined.

Lots of beer, food, music and fun people...



'











We both enjoyed the Sauerbraten, potatoes, gravy and red cabbage...O, yes the beer too!

Grand children's visit.


John, Dawn and Kristen visited us in Island Park along with the grand children... It was a pleasure to see the young ones play,  interact and enjoy themselves........

A stroll down to the water..

After lunch on our deck we drove over the Magnolia Ave. playground in Long Beach.





 





Ahhh!  Put Ry in a tunnel with no sun in his face and you get a great smile!


It was a beautiful day for a cook out, spend time with one another and to do it on our 5th wedding anniversary made it special for us...............................
