Today for our Sunday family day we went to Folk Fest. It was our first time going and the weather was hot but we had fun. The festival is put on each year to help celebrate the German heritage and to teach about the history of New Braunfels. There were lots of live demonstrations and people dressed up as the early settlers. The boys learned about what A Black Smith was, made a kite, bird feeder, went to a Tea party and dressed up liked the prairie boys did. Liam milked a goat for the first time and learned about how they made milk. They also had fun bowling like the early settlers. There were several fun activities for the boys to do and lots to learn about. We hope to go back next year and keep the tradition each year. It reminded me of my childhood and all the places my parents took my brother and I to visit in New England to learn about the history and the way people lived. It's so important that the boys learn about their heritage. Both being part German I think it's great to live celebrates its German culture.
