Wild Summer Fun

Saturday we went to Tina's and Markus' wedding in the Alte Villa, which we had checked out earlier this summer. There were quite a bit of kids and quite a few more at the playground next to the beer garden part of the Villa. They also had one of those modern see-saws that are boards on giant steel springs. If you rock those really hard you can make the board hit the ground, which is Karl's favorite. He scared away two older boys with his wild style see-sawing until he met his match, a little girl with a really smoky voice and a knack for testing the limits of playground equipment. He then continued to explore his newly improved macho side by learning to climb the climbing wall without adult supervision (or at least he thought so). Later on he found two older girls who liked the surprisingly indie-type beer garden band as much as he did. First they wanted to be all girly girls amongst themselves, but Karl just pestered them until they let him dance with him, which he did until we had to wrest him from the dancefloor way past 10PM. (More detailed post about the wedding about to follow).
