This weekend was Carnival! In Germany, Carnival is a pre-lent celebration where people dress up, party, parade through the streets and enjoy traditional Carnival sweets (aka candy & donuts)! At Sabrina’s school, they had a celebration where all kids needed to dress up. Of course we didn’t bring a costume so I got crafty! I was pretty proud of our Peppa the Pig! We decided to check out the local Parade to round out the experience. This included floats, candy, confetti, dancing, singing, and lots of shenanigans (both Adrian and I were hit in the head with a pack of flying mentos):)
We also went to the Public Library. All the books are in Germany so instead of reading, Sabrina opted to rock out to some German tunes! The other fun adventure we had this weekend was baking! Germany has an odd baking powder/baking soda concoction which leaves a questionable after-taste. After some experimenting we successfully made pancakes and banana muffins! A little taste of home:)
