End of summer catch up...



The Black Forest:
We caught a rare rain-free weekend in August for the Black Forest. It was stunning to walk through the woods and along the rivers near Forbach in the northern national park.
Highlights:
--Any time we go hiking with the Schmitserwitzes is a good time (and it wasn't even raining this trip).
--Going on a 1.5 kilometer Rodelbahn
--Black forest cake and ice cream
--visiting a glassblowing museum and having the kids take turns making vases
--driving what was apparently a goat track to get to the youth hostel. When they said it was in the woods, it was really in the woods
