O'zapft is! Wir geht nacht Deutschland!


This year marks a very special anniversary....the 200th year of the marriage celebration of Konig (King) Ludwig I and his bride Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, also known as the Oktoberfest. So we decided about 2 years ago that we would return to Germany to join in this very special occasion. We were also able to bring Elias to see his extended family and the beautiful sits of his Oma's home country. Needless to say a very good time was had by all and we were able to soak in the local celebrations. 


Sipping Starbucks in the airport like Daddy
Discovering the inner workings of the airplane
Although Elias has been on many flights (4-5 hours), this was our first attempt internationally with a raging toddler. We were fortunate that going over Elias slept most of the trip, however this was not the case coming home. Keeping a very active 16 month old entertained was quite the challenge for 10 hours.

Elias was VERY excited about FC Bayern  München gear!

Give a boy a rock and a stick and he's happy!
All the new grandparents and their boys!
Enjoying time with his 2nd cousins
 Mama and Daddy were able to enjoy a FC Bayern  München game against Mainz. The seats were amazing, the playing was not. We lost 2:1.


Our new summer home ;)

Auf Wiedersehen! Tschuss!
