We went on our first family adventure in Germany on Saturday evening. There is a castle, called Burg Satzvey, about an hour from here that dates back to the 1400s. It is still inhabited by a count and countess who open up their property throughout the year for different festivals and events.
This weekend was their Family Halloween festival. What a fun time! First of all, the castle and property are beautiful. They do an excellent job of keeping it up. There were great Halloween decorations, and lots of stalls selling food and other items. We had an excellent meal of German fair food. For us, it was gulaschsuppe and hot waffles with hot cherries on top for dessert. Excellent!
The festival had lots of great live music and even a giant maze. The maze would have been fun to walk through sans baby. I thought, though, that with it being Halloween there were probably things waiting to jump out at us, and that would not be cool.
Burg Satzvey hosts medieval jousts during the spring, so we will definitely be back.
Here is Jackson looking oh-so-excited about being at the castle. What a stinker.

How fun! And what a coincidence--I'm making "ghoul-aschsuppe" for our Halloween dinner. It's become a tradition around here. Jackson looks so excited to go to a castle inhabited by a count for Halloween--next thing you know, he's going to say, "Everybody in preschool got to go on cool summer vacations, and I'm going to have to tell everybody I only got to go to Ba-VAAAAA-ria."
I know, I was such a little snot. Give me your gulaschsuppe recipe!
