Dinner at the fest

Second largest fest in Germany...

Cannstatter Volksfest Stuttgart...

Haircut time!

Princess Leia hair...she's either going to be Cinderella or Princess Leia for Halloween...Connor sure wants her to stick with the Star Wars theme!

Feeling better today...fashion show time!

Just a little fever today, 99...she was in better spirits but had a few moments where she just had to lay down on the couch...no naps today so she's tucked into bed and hoping she's back to herself in the morning!

At soccer practice yesterday...Amelia was warming up with the big kids!

Lots of resting time today...she's been taking power naps on the couch today : (

And now a little fever...poor sick girl...

Sick girl...Amelia woke up sick this morning. She told me, "I got 2 sicks. I got car sick and home sick!" The last time she got "sick" was in the car a few weeks ago. "Two sicks," makes total sense!

At McDonalds because we got lost with crazy construction...hoping we can find our way home! Thankful for the familiar of McDonalds : )

Crazy slide!

She loved it!

Sunday afternoon snuggles

View of the church from the highway!

Pictures from our day in Idar-Oberstein...a nice little town just about 25 minutes away...

If you look closely through the trees, there is a castle up above...we didn't make it up there because it was a never ending path!  We met some people with a dog and no kids that were walking down...and they didn't even make it all the way up!  So it was a good choice to stop where we were!

The view of the city from the path up to the castle...

Inside the church...finally!   There was a small admission charge...the man at the desk only charged for me and Scott...and then he gave the kids each a free postcard.  He said that he only does this for the Americans!   He told me (in German) that his sister lived in the United States, and he was really proud of that.  He was such a nice man!

Scott's "Eis kaffee" or iced coffee with vanilla ice cream!
