Its Oktoberfest!!!

We headed to Underwood farm Oktoberfest this last weekend. We had such a fantastic time! The kids went straight for the pumpkin patch to pick their favorite pumpkin. The polka music filled the air as we went to all the different activities. Their newest activity is "Panning for gold" and it was quite the hit with my girls. You can pick either gems or fossils to pan for. When Lauren pull up her pan she started screaming... "OMG Its a miracle"!!! In her pan was a rock of fools gold, a giant piece of Quartz and another clear stone with facets similar to a diamond. She truly believed she had found diamonds and gold or"treasure" and she put it!! Maddie had fun too her her favorite was the Hawaiian shaved Ice booth. In the heat of the day it was a great treat to cool off with. They had plain shaved ice and then "True" Hawaiian shaved ice. The "True" shaved ice has a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom and a drizzle of sweet cream (which is sweetened condensed milk). I had never had a true shaved ice and was a bit unsure how it would taste... but I got one to share with Michael out of curiousity. Well with one bite I was a convert. It was icy cool and creamy at the same time..yummy! I'm never going to go with plain shaved ice again. It was sooo good.....Michael and I were fighting over the last few bites!!
