I realize that these two things might not sound like they go together, but since they took place during the same weekend, they get to share a post!
On Saturday night, timing, memory, and convincing all lined up, and we were able to go to Fasching (Mardi Gras) at the Lansing Liederkranz. I called in advance to make sure that we would be able to go and didn't' need to buy our tickets in advance. We took an uber, so we didn't have to worry about parking, which my contact mentioned is sometimes scarce!
The flyer said it was family friendly, but we weren't quite sure, so just the two of us went the first time. The kids in attendance were dancing and having a great time dancing to the polka band, so next time maybe we can go as a family!
Billy was able to get Oktoberfest (in February) and I was able to get Shinerbock, on tap! The food was quite tasty and so much that I took home a doggy bag and ate on it for two more meals!
It was a really fun night! We didn't go anywhere afterward, because the next morning, we were going to the MSU Rodeo with the Cornishes! We originally wanted the Saturday at 2pm time, but it was sold out, and 8pm is much too late of a start time for us old folk, so Sunday at 2 was our time slot!
While we enjoyed the Rodeo last year, it was somehow better this year! They had a screen that gave a summary of how the contenders would score points, that Natalie and I found very helpful! They also had a horse rider who did tricks! She made it look so easy, but I can't even imagine the practice it takes to make the tricks on a moving horse look so seamless!
It was a good showing, and I'm so glad they invited us again! I'm looking forward to summer, but a little bit of me can now look forward to next February too.
later days
