Despite the previuous posts about the horrible weather we were having, I can now report the sun is shining! And its shining at a rate of over 100 degrees each day! Its like we live on the sun its so hot...and then add the humidity...forgetaboutit. Mehh, I digress...
Luckily, we pay high enough taxes here (48%) that the State funds alot of activities for kids. This includes a 3 week long Kids Festival that happens every July along the Maine River here.
There is something for everyone of all ages.
Of course we stuck to the 0-3 year old offers.
We took turns forcing ourselves to go on this with her.
It made both of us sick, but she LOVED every minute.
As soon as she saw this, she jumped in.
Unfortunately, this was after Mama remembered she didn´t have extra clothes.

It is organized quite beautifully. It is ran by volunteers of all ages (although I think they are at least 17). There is face painting, obstacle courses, slides, carousels, the wading pool, and even an art center. Movie theaters donate their old movie posters and thats what the kids use to paint on. I think its really a genius move, and environmentally thoughtful! To top it all off, its FREE!!!
It truly is a great way to spend an afternoon with your little one, especially since all of our playgroups and gymnastic classes are on a Summer Break.
Of course there is bratwursts and beer, like any true german event. Danke!
