A perfect night
Go to sleep at seven pm? Not on the night of all nights when the "Little Festival in the Big Garden" is taking place, one of Hannover's most popular festivals that is always sold out months in advance. In fact we have never gone before, as it is pretty tricky to get ahold of tickets. This year though I got lucky on ebay!
The tickets: 30 Euros extra for the ebay experience.
The expression on our daughter's face and a mouth that wouldn't close all night: priceless.
The Herrenhäuser Gärten offer the ideal location for this magical event. More than 100 artists either perform on the 32 stages that are dotted throughout the gardens or simply roam the premises. It's a fairy tale come alive.

This is NOT the Pope blessing our daughter!
The artists came from 15 different countries.
On the trapeze: Uri and Noa from Israel!
I don't know how many flies Lia caught that night in her mouth!
Must have been a few.
Ballerinas in balls:
You can buy them as a souvenir.
Simply let the air out to make transport easier.
We didn't buy this one, she seemed rather lazy.
Performing artists from Ghana.
Can you find Lia in the audience?

A penny for Lia's thoughts!!!
Oh yes, we love little dogs. And puppets with gigantic heads, too!
It was literally a fabulous night that was topped off by spectacular fireworks. There was so much more to see, like the five crazy ants that were marching around the garden and that Lia fell in love with. I didn't catch them on camera, but I'm sure they will be marching around Lia's imagination for quite a while.

Oh wow! Yes, I was able to find Lia in the audience. We are so happy you guys are doing such fun and lovely things. Where do you find the energy though? We can barely make it to the park on most weekends. We miss you guys!
Whoa, this is creepy Alice in Wonderland trippy kinda stuff.
I'd say it looked like fun, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep...
Sehr beeindruckend, was der Hofstaat da für die kleine Prinzessin Lia in den königlichen Gärten auf die Beine gestellt hat! Jetzt müssen sie nur noch das Herrenhäuser Schloß wieder aufbauen, dann wird Lia die Königin eines Ameisenstaats!
Grüße, Tante Su und Onkel Chrischie
Nächstes Jahr sind wir dabei!!!
oooooooh, I want to go too next time! How come we never went all those years I actually LIVED in Hannover?! This looks awesome.
Okay...I totally agree with Brandy!! Good thing Lia is too little to know Alice in Wonderland!! :)
