First, we know more people. A German friend told us where to get the best brats - another bought us some festive decor (traditional cookie) from a connection in Munich....
And an Austrian friend loaned us something to get everyone in costume....
We learned of a local baker who could make the Bavarian pretzels......
And discovered - for a small fee - we could rent the school bus to take people home...
(taxis are not so reliable - especially on Saturday nights)
And now even know how to recycle after....
(Unfortunately German beer bottles are also considered 'non-standard' & fetch very little refund - disappointing the kids who saw the car full of empties as a sure path to riches)
However, we also learned that more time here means a bigger turn out, which can lead to things like toy room mass destruction.....
That said, it also makes it easier to recruit a larger repair team....
(Xavier & 3 friends to aid the Lego rebuilding process)
Net, net, we had another fun Oktoberfest - AND appreciated the relative ease of year 2 along the way.
Here's hoping you enjoy some easy today. Prost!
