One of the best parts of living in Germany is joining in the local celebrations. This year the elementary school hosted a Fasching parade (remember, Fasching is the Bavarian's version of Mardi Gras). Here is the school's mascot, a dragon.
Bailey's class dressed up as historical figures, then confused everyone by wearing masks and carrying Mardi Gras-type decorations. It was super fun! Bailey was the Puritan, Anne Hutchinson. Can you tell? I'd love to get a real Puritan's take on Fasching. Ha ha!
I downloaded the next two photos from the elementary school's flickr account.
TJ's class dressed up as the characters in Cinderella. TJ was the pumpkin before it turned into a coach.
David had a blast watching the parade. He received a ton of candy and even some balloons. He is super excited to be in the parade next year.
