Kürbis Festival

9/4/2013

Kurbis means pumpkin in German and with the Labor Day weekend over, I'm starting to see signs of Fall pop up around town.  We attended a Pumpkin Festival over the weekend.  It was in the middle of a plowed corn field with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside.  The festival itself was just ok.  There were a lot more things to do for the kids than there were for the adults, which I expected, so we did a lap, got something to eat, and Jason humored me while I filled up a bag of gourds to put around the house :)

There was a whole array of farming equipment parked for kids to climb all over. In addition there was a tower of hay for them to tear apart. There were lots of other cool kids stuff - I'm sure I would have loved this when I was 5.

My selections
After the pumpkin festival, we drove to Darmstadt where a co-worker had told Jason about a giant beer & wine store that had a huge selection of beers from all over the world.  Most shops here in Germany only carry the major German brands.  Besides this shop, I have yet to see any beer sold that was not made in Germany.  

It was a hit, as you can tell & Jason stocked up for winter :)  Thank goodness for tax free forms!

On a final note, our transformers finally arrived and I was able to have coffee from our Keurig this morning.  It was glorious.  I'm convinced that my coffee is superior to all others.

I was so desperate for my coffee that I don't really even mind the huge transformer that now must sit our counter.

I'm serious about my coffee
