We went to an Oktoberfest tent in Frankfurt with a bunch of fun parents from Lily’s school. Wowzer. Germans LOVE Oktoberfest. Jay said the tents in Munich are 4 times this size – I cannot even imagine. Those benches that people are sitting on in these pictures. Yeah, they are only for sitting when you eat your food (typically an entire rotisserie chicken), then for the rest of your night they are for standing on. We all drank way too much beer, but a good time was had by all.

These Lebkuchenhertz (gingerbread heart cookie) are an Oktoberfest tradition. Jay bought me one. :).

Lily’s 16U softball team, the first 16U team in the Main-Taunus Redwings club, made it to the Deutsche Meister (German National Championship) in Karlsruhe. The girls lost all of their games, but they scored in every one and for being a new, young team, they played really well!

We attended our first Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball (soccer) game with friends. The atmosphere in the stadium was awesome. Lots of goal attempts, but only one went in the net. Thankfully the good guys won!

We took public transportation to the game. Along with 47,468 other fans.

Ty’s rugby team travelled to Zurich for a rugby game against ISZL. He looks so handsome in his rugby travel outfit. FIS lost, but the ISZL team is made up of boys that mostly play club rugby and are really good. They had fun!
