BratFest

We attended our second Wisconsin food festival last weekend and determined that Midwestern food festivals go something like this: 1) Arrive. 2) Eat Featured Food Item. 3) Hmmm, What Do We Do Now? 4) Go Home.

Brat Fest was pretty fabulous, with the Weinermobile

and the (slightly less famous) Johnsonville Brat Semi Truck.

The festival set some kind of world record- 208,472 brats consumed (I think they might just be competing against themselves?), and we were responsible for 6 of those...mmm.

Hannah enjoyed her first bratwurst experience.

Nick and Phil tried their best to win Hannah a giant tacky carnival prize,
but no luck. (If money were no object, their competitive natures would have kept them at the ring toss until success or midnight.)

Then Nick tried the ladder climb...so close!

Hannah's souvenir t-shirt says it all:
