Oktoberfest!

A few years back my family started hosting an Oktoberfest. My dad brews beer and makes wine which is my fave! It has become a tradition now, and everyone comes dresses in character, tho some just go the Halloween route which is always a hoot. This year we made brats boiled in beer then grilled em', and had every thing else you could imagine. The best part is the deserts though, home made pumpkin cookies and pie! mmm. A family friend/photographer Dianna Reich took these photos go check out her work! http://www.facebook.com/DianaReichPhotography

Autumn

Packed just the essentials ;)

Down town Flagstaff, my home town!

This is one of my favorite stores in down down Incahoots! its a vintage clothing and costume shop where I got these gloves. The spider knuckle ring I bought at my other favorite shop called Black Hound Gallery.

The Hotel Monte Vista is a historic hotel in down town that is said to be haunted! I enjoy going to the Monte Vista Lounge for the live bands and coocktails!, and the restaurant has great coffee!  http://www.hotelmontevista.com/

 

 

 

 

 

Before I left I had to make time to go see the aspens! This is on Snow Bowl road. I love this time of year, the aspens are so pretty when the leafs change.We also had the first snow of the season while I was home! I wish the pictures were more crisp, I forgot the memory card to my camera like a ding bat and was left with my Iphone.
