The Fest...

Our town has 2 big fests each summer. We went to the first one a few weeks ago, and that was in the city with lots of live music and food, but only lasted 2 days. The other one is up on the Mountain and is affiliated with the church - It lasts 10 days. It is a long and steep walk up, but at the top there is delicious food, nice atmosphere and beautiful views. It was nice this year to run in to a few people we know too. Mia met up with friends and had freedom to walk around. Definitely a nice time!

Each day the fest is bustling...

lots of foods and sweets

The forest is all around...

And a little Chapel to light a candle..

This is the Pilgrimage Church...

They even had an outdoor Mass (right beside the fest :-))

The view from the top overlooking our City -so pretty!

And of course Bratwurst and steak...

and more Bratwurst 

and more steak

This made us laugh - even the first aid workers had krugs of beer

Camden's purchase - This made me laugh. Remeber Candy Cigarettes? These look much more realistic than in the old days..

I thought this was the warning, but instead it tells you that when you puff on the candy cigarette, fake looking smoke will come out :-)

We were up there several nights and really enjoyed ourselves!
