Oktoberfest

Rowan in a dirndl and Dilly in lederhosen at Oktoberfest. These were Kirsten's when she was little, brought straight from Germany by her Grandma and Grandpa (who bought the dirndl all by himself). Everybody called them little Hansel and Gretel and oohed and aahed over them. One couple came up and asked if the outfits are "vintage". Kirsten got a puzzled look and said, "well I never thought about it like that, but I guess they are."


There was a Alpin Horn blowing contest. Rowan and Dilly very patiently waited in line with all the older kids. Some of the kids could blow it, some couldn't. Rowan was the first little kid. She got up to the horn, blew and out came the loudest honking sound you can imagine. Everybody clapped and were surprised that such a little body could create such a loud noise. Afterwards she said, "the man just told me to put my lips on it and blow!" It was the definate highlight of the party for all of us!

Below, Rowan celebrating her successful horn blowing!
