We went to a Fasnacht parade again. In actual fact, we went to two. One in our little village, and then a much bigger one in Bern (well, just Jethro and Hazel and I went to the one in Bern—Brett had seen enough). We did see a Fasnacht parade last year, but I’m still amazed by the costumes, masks, and elaborately detailed face-painting. Very different than anything I’ve seen in the States.
A lot of people dress up too- and not only the kids.
Kami, I took a picture of this little girl for you. :)
The pictures above remind me of my brother Ethan. Look at the similarities (hair and face):
This is where we were watching the parade from- right in front of the Bundeshaus (parliament building).
These pink things are REALLY weird.
Jethro and Hazel had a lot of fun scooping confetti up off the ground so they could have some to throw, since I was a mean mom and wouldn’t spend $6 for a bag!
That was a lot of pictures.
The end.

Wow! Those masks are pretty spectacular! Great photos. Seriously.
Wow, where were all the muggles? Also, loved Jethro's nod to the west. Very classy hat.
I would love to go to that!!! It looks awesome! You should have dressed your kids up in their Halloween costumes.
Love the last confetti toss shot at the end.
Dude - that was awesome!!!! The costumes were so so cool!!! Fun Day. What does it celebrate? I too loved the last confetti toss. Super cute. Mom
