This past Saturday marked one full week of living in Germantown in our new home. So - instead of unpacking some more, we celebrating by being out and about in our new neighborhood! :)
Erik and Meredith attended a reenactment of the battle of Germantown mid-day and though they missed the actual event (yes, missing the reenactment was purposeful! We aren't sure MJ is quite at the age to appreciate such intense noise and commotion), they enjoyed listening to the period instruments and viewing so many people dressed in historical costumes!
Later that evening, we all went to Grumblethorpe for an Oktoberfest celebration. Grumblethorpe is a local and kept up 18th century home in the heart of Germantown (a mere few blocks from us!). They have chickens and impressive gardens behind the home and caretakers keep up the home and grounds for tours and educational programs.
Meredith enjoyed drawing on a pumpkin during the evening.
(The grape vines behind me in this photo date back to the 18th century!)
And, we had AMAZING German chocolate cake and homemade/hand-cranked ice cream!
(of course Baby Ellie attended the festivities with us!) :)
