Before my mom came to visit us in Germany, she threw a carnival party for her "local" grandkids. It looked like a blast and if you visit
my sister's blog you'll see what I mean. She has always tried very hard to help my kids feel included so she decided to bring the carnival to Germany. In Germany a party is called a fest, a German carnival is a kerwe. We decided to invite some of the girls' friends so that we had a big crowd and lots of competition for the games. The kids had so much fun. Thanks mom!

Balloon toss that quickly turned from being target practice on the the wall to target practice on each other:
Photo booth:
Lunch, made perfect with hotdogs, chips, popcorn and cotton candy.
We also had a day trip this week to an Open Air Museum in Bad Sobernheim. Basically they have re-created a German village that demonstrates what life was like in Germany for the last 5 centuries! The museum is all outside, hence "open air". There are 4 villages within the museum and you can go into houses, barns and other structures to look at life back in the day. Here is a picture of phone books in an old phone booth.
All the kids that came on our outing, so much more fun with a crowd!~
We broke away another day for a trip to Holiday Park. It is an amusement park and this particular one's claim to fame is the Free Fall Tower and the G Force roller coaster. I am proud to say that both my mother and I joined in on both of these rides and they were spectacular!
Of course we included the Togisalas and the Rays in our adventurous day. Like I said before, the more the merrier!
Holiday Park is very aware of their mothers since they put one of these right outside the G-Force roller coaster. To be used once before and once after. Smart cookies!
At the end of the day we returned to the Free Fall Tower square where there is a checkerboard that shoots water up and out at random times. The kids had a blast cooling off here:
