Laterne, Laterne…
This year we finally made it to the German St. Martin’s Day Celebration in Prospect Park. We meant to go in the past 3 years and never made it. Today, we almost didn’t attend either because half of our family is still under the weather. However, Mika and Tobin had worked so hard on their lanterns (thank you Omi and Opa for the make-your-own kit!) … that we had to head out despite a steady drizzle and transportation challenges.
We were surprised how many Germans had gathered despite the weather (well over 150), and bumped into many friends. Most notably Bruno, also on his first ever St. Martins Celebration, and Luna, who is a 4-time veteran. Mika and Luna both had underwater-themed, home made lanterns. Below are two movie clips, one from the park tonight and the other from home last night.
