The Little Carnival…

The Portuguese festival in Malschenberg offers a small carnival where adults can eat and drink and kids can enjoy simple rides. While we drank beer (men) and wine (skirts), the kids ate several thousand calories worth of junk, rode the spinning carousel of death and threw balls at cans to win flowers (at 2 Euros each, they were pretty expensive flowers).feira 2_4191 Panorama (1024x407) IMG_4205 (683x1024)Our kids love cotton candy. It may seem irresponsible to feed them these empty calories, but I’ve taught them to save part of their monthly allowance for future insulin injections.  IMG_4288 (1024x683)IMG_4277 (682x1024)IMG_4275 (1024x683)Upon closer inspection, it’s not clear how much of the popcorn and cotton candy made it into Emily’s stomach and how much stayed affixed to her teeth and cheeks.IMG_4334Our time in Barcelona seems to have instilled in them a certain Spanish flair.IMG_4242 (1024x683) IMG_4244 (1024x683) This year, Emily wins the award for most creative pose with flowers.IMG_4332 (683x1024) IMG_4333 (1024x683) The coolest pictures at the carnival as far as I’m concerned were the ones I snapped of the girls on the ride with Andrea. Looks fun, no?IMG_4214 (1024x646) IMG_4218 (1024x683) IMG_4218 (2) (1024x686)IMG_4221 (1024x683)A few seconds in you can see the girls trying to hold hands. Very cute. The finally reach each other. Toward the end, you see Thomas, Andrea and Robert.
