We were on our way to the old town in Düsseldorf for Oktoberfest and we just happened to chance upon a children's festival happening in front of City Hall...
They had a rope-balancing training course...
a bouncy castle...
a children's rock climbing wall...
A tire sumo wrestling ring...
...where I got to wrestle my dad!
I think I won.
They also had a giant monument where kids can run on...
a place where kids can make their own big bubbles...
baseball practice...
an ambulance where you can sit inside...
and a place where I could become my dream occupation: A PIRATE!! Rrrrrrrrrr!!!
And since this is Germany, they are very big on practicality and training their children at an early age to take care of themselves. Some examples include:
Building your own ladder (just in case you need to fix something on your roof)...
Cutting your own wood (just in case you need to build your own house)...
And learning how to dodge tires while holding an egg on a spoon (you know, just in case)....
After all that exercise it was time to sit down for a good meal!!
Mmmmm....schweinshaxe!
