Oktoberfest in Carlisle

Jason and I discovered that the Army Heritage Center in Carlisle was doing a big, free, one day Fall festival. Since we wanted to take Daniel there anyway to see the tanks and helicopters, we decided this would be a good opportunity to get out and have some fun.

There is a walking trail around the grounds with displays of all kinds of cannons, tanks, planes, helicopters, bunkers, barracks, medical huts, etc. from all the wars of America's history. It is pretty cool. Daniel seemed to really enjoy seeing all the equipment but was disappointed that he couldn't get in them and test them all out.




The weather was a bit too cold to hang out at the fair for long but maybe next year we can get a bit more out of it. There were booths of all kinds of foods, beer, and companies marketing themselves. They also had a gigantic bounce house village set up for the kids but we somehow managed to bypass that this time. It was getting too late and we had someplace else we had to be. One cool thing we did try to do was get Daniel to ride a horse. He was fascinated by them while we waited for them to get saddled but as soon as he hopped on - he cried and wanted down. Oh well, we'll try it again.
