I love this little weekly link-up! It's one of my favorites! So much of our lives aren't these huge, monumental moments. It's a bunch of little things that happen & just make our hearts grow so much!
We love taking the dogs for walks.. now! Ha It hasn't always been a pleasant or easy experience to be honest. I played around with different variables like stroller vs. carrier, 1 dogs vs. 2, routes to take, etc.
Now we have it down! So on beautiful days I strap Grey to my back in the Beco carrier & take both dogs out together on a nice walk.
We almost always walk the same route every time, which makes it easier since it's familiar for all of us. We have a path that runs almost right next to our house that has some hills to it & goes right through giant fields, giving us awesome views of our village & the one right next to it.
At the end of the path, there is a little farm with some animals that are always outside. I make sure to walk that way since we all like to go see them. I make animal noises for Grey & I'm sure he thinks I'm nuts! But hoping one of these days he'll catch on & say them too!
It's not long, but it's always a pretty good time we have. Fresh air & exercise do us all some good. It will be interesting to see how dog walks change for us as the dogs & Greyson continue to get older!
Joining the link up:
This past weekend we visited the Wurstmarkt in Bad Durkeim.
While it's really a sausage festival, it's known mostly for being the largest
wine festival!
We've lived here in Germany for 2 1/2 years now &
have never been to the festival! So we made the decision that we had to check
it out for real before we move back to the states in March.
It was kind of a gloomy day, so we got spritzed on most of
the afternoon before the full on rain started pouring down! Nonetheless, it was
a fun time!
Miles & miles of vineyards... yes!
There were rides
& tons of food! I forgot to snag a picture of the tents, but there were
rows upon rows of tents for people to sit & tons of wine vendors!
Anywhere you went, there was likely a wine vendor within feet of you! And I
don't think we saw any food that didn't look delicious!
My glass of wine! 0.5 liters of wine, which is about 2/3 of
a bottle! Delicious!
The Nutella crepes were delicious obviously! We got a little bit that Greyson didn't scarf down!
We finally found a spot for our big group in one of the big
tents. There was live music playing, more food & of course wine! We got
in just in time too since it started raining like crazy not long after
& everyone packed inside to stay dry!
This guy was wasted & dancing on the bench with the
little girl! It was funny & cute!
We tried to keep Grey
out of the rain for such a long time, since we didn't want him soaked while out
& about. But we finally gave in as we neared the time we were planning
to leave. He had a blast!
It was such a fun experience! Kind of sad we didn't get the
chance to go the last 2 years. But it is something we will remember!
And it was the perfect ending to our summer! We even woke up
Monday with way cooler weather. Guess the weather got the memo that it's FALL
now! Bring on more sweaters, boots, crunchy leaves & pumpkin
everything!
I thought it would be fun at the end of each week to just share the sweet photos I take throughout the week that I just love! No captions, just simple! Enjoy!
Daddy came home after being gone for about 2 weeks worth of time.
We're so happy to have daddy back home with us & to get back into our more normal routine! Here's to the start of a new week!
