Pumpkin Festival

We went to the Pumpkin Festival in Retz, north of Vienna, and stayed over night - like a mini break! The whole village was decorated with pumpkins, and every food stand had something made of pumpkin.


Walking the day after in the Thayatal National Park on the Czech border.

The amazing Michi who can carry two whiny kids up the hiking path AND still have a smile.

Hey, who put my "schnulli" up there!






The dads had a moment of weakness and bought the kids each a balloon - they cost 9.50 EUR each! That's over $10 for a balloon! Kim nicknamed the balloons "nine-fifty" in honor of the inflated price.

A whole bunch of "nine-fifty's".

The guys take a minute to catch a glass of wine.
