Local party

This weekend I had some work to do so we only got out to walk around late on Sunday. We walked down a block to our 'platz' where there was a small party for the Mardi Gras.
They had some rides for babies and carnival games for people with more money than sense.

Our guys wanted to try the games. Here we played balloon darts. As far as I can tell, you play darts and then win a pencil worth approximately 1/100th the value of your purchase. The kids loved it.

Then the fun really started. There was a local group who celebrate Mardi Gras from the neighborhood who perform. This local 'fasching' group was made up of people between the ages of 25 and 50 with limited ability. Wow. If you ever saw fatboy slim with their video for "praise you" you get the idea. Train wreck.

For the loyal blog viewers, this is the same square where we had the huge hotdogs. Today everyone was still adventurous. Here we have crepes:
Brian: Nutella
David: Sugar
Julia: Sugar and Cinnamon

Brian also tried the corn on cob - it must be in season here in Bavaria.
