More pictures of the Black Forest...

One day when we were at the "See"(pond)  we saw a guy making these rock formations. It was actually really neat how he would balance the rocks in intersting positions (the photo doesn't really do it justice)

The kids decided to try it for themselves.. First you had to collect the perfect rocks...

It required serious concentration ;-)

Almost done...

She created a Fox (with a tale and all). I thought it was quite clever!

So much character in almost every building! No cookie cutter architecture that is for sure!!

A German tradition that we love is "Kaffee und Kuchen". Around 4:00 each day, many Germans have coffee and cake. Usually the cake is not sweet like we tend to have it in America. This was my Black Forest Cake that I had one afternoon when we enjoyed our "Kaffee und Kuchen".

We went to an animal park one day on the Swiss Border, where you could feed the Animals. After the kids ran out of their animal feed, they had just as much fun trying to collect the scraps of feed that had fallen from vistors before us. I was amazed at how much entertainment it brough them.

An owl. We loved watching his head spin around!!!

This was adorable. When you entered the park, there was the "kasse" or cashier as we would call it. No people involved, just the honor system. 3 euro for adults and 1 euro for kids :-) You just leave your money in the hole.

Baby Wild pigs

So fun!

And the goats were a hit too!
