Ludwigsberg: Kürbisausstellung Ludwigsberg (Pumpkin Fest)

Visiting the World's Largest Pumpkin Fest can be checked off our list of things to do in Germany. We ventured out to the Ludwigsberg's Pumpkin Fest earlier last month and saw lots of pumpkins and gourds (and when I say lots, I mean thousands). We also got to see our first real castle, Schloss Ludwigsburg and it's lovely garden. I'd love to go back again without the boys to tour the inside of the castle (the tour is a few hours long).

Don't worry. Asher's coat was taken off and his straps were adjusted before we left the house :)

So were Liam's straps :)

After wandering around the fest for a few hours, we decided to relax in a park across the street. I fell in love with this park. Germany really has spoiled us a bit with space like these.

Nürnberg: Volksfest

On Saturday, our family met up with another family (of seven with one on the way!) in Nürnberg to check out their Volksfest. Volksfest is pretty much a large fair. There were rides and games (and beer, I mean it is Germany). We had a lot of fun (even though Liam was pretty cranky most of the time) and plan to attend more fests and attractions since the weather is nicer (you know, when it's not raining).
