Karlsruhe, Germany has a nice palace with a huge park behind it. My two daughters loved the ducks the best. Ducks understand french-english very well, especially when the ducks see food.

Our Family Pumpkin!
This is the pumpkin that we bought on the side of the street in a small village. My husband and I pulled three children out of the car and crossed a busy street to pick out our first French family pumpkin. Sweet Bear said, “This one.” And, this is the one we got. She is [...]
