Ela has her s'more all cooked and ready to eat, Ciocia Karen is helping her take it off the stick.

We went to the Lynfred Winery in Roselle for Oktoberfest. They had barrel rolling contests as well as grape spitting Stevie K. did not make it to the semi-finals. ( guess he does not spit far enough) and grape stomping. Also coloring (everything and their clothes) and making decorations with corks. Great food also. Roasted corn and typical German foods, and of course the wines.

After all this activity, Karen in her van and I in mine drove to Glenview for a big Bonfire at the Wagner Farms. There we made smores in the campfire, and we got to visit the animals on the farm. There were things to pull like the big bell by the farmhouse, swing on the very long swing on the tree, pick out a pumpkin see things in the barns like the horses and cows and goats and kittens.

We got home by 8pm and everybody was tired out and ready to go to sleep.
GOOD NIGHT TO ALL.
