Luxembourg and Trier

Over Columbus Day we all packed up and headed to Luxembourg.  Along the way, we decided to stop in Vianden and see the castle, and wouldn't you know it...there was a fest going on.  Perfect!  We spent the day at the "Nut Fest", sampling nutty foods, wines, and liquors.  The castle at the top of the hill was gorgeous, we could have spent the whole weekend there, but off to Luxembourg City we went.  The next day, we spent tooling around Trier - Germany's oldest city.  We had a perfect day!

Our Favorite Fest

It comes around twice a year...our favorite fest in Stuttgart.  This time we went in our traditional dirndl dresses.  I don't think I'll win "mother of the year" this year (again!) since we were singing and dancing all night -- even Zoe was dancing on the tables!  What a blast!

Where is Zoe?

The other night, Zoe gave me a real scare.  I put her to bed, only to check on her 30 minutes later, and she was not there. I searched high and low and was a little panicked....then I glanced at her basket of stuffed animals, and saw her! Sound asleep among all her furry friends!

Paige, Zoe, and I went to the children's fest in Heidelberg a few weeks ago - fest wasn't so great, but the day was gorgeous and we loved walking around downtown.

Today we went to our favorite park - Luisenpark - or as Zoe calls is "The Weezen Park".  Finally a sunny day after a rain filled week!  We enjoyed our day!

Ok, I don't know how to get those two pictures to go straight!  Each time I upload them, they turn when upload completes....you'll just have to turn your heads to see them correctly.  :-)
