Our second Adventure was the Best festival of the year. The Bernkastel-Kues wine festival along the Moselle River. The morning started out dry and the afternoon got very wet. We had a couple hours of rain. When the rain stopped the first time we left the kids and headed to the festival to drink the best Traubensaft (Grape Juice) in town. I personally love the Rot (red). We got to enjoy live music, different bands play throughout the festival. We got to eat latke potato pancakes. The kids loved the amusement park in the rain. Chandler and Denny hit up a couple rides in the pouring rain. We didn't let the rain stop our fun we snuggled in close with our umbrellas and played games. We were a little nervous that it wouldn't stop raining and we wouldn't be able to watch the fireworks. However, around 8pm the rain stopped and we got to enjoy the spectacular 30 minute firework show that reenacts how the castle was destroyed a couple hundred years ago. It was a battle between Barges from the Moselle river attacking the Castle then the Castle fighting back. So you watch fireworks go back and forth from the river to the castle. The end of the firework show the lights are turned on the castle to look like it was on fire. So amazing!

| The parents won't take us to the Amusement park yet... guess we will play more games. |

| I love this picture of the Emily and Megan. They were looking at the swans. Megan and I had to take a field trip to see those beautiful swans. |

| I don't think there is anything more adorable than my sweetheart snuggling Garett. |
 |
| Once again we were battling the rain. DennisnSarah Kinsman had a pretty sweet setup table and a huge umbrella. We all huddled around their table all with our own umbrellas while we played games. |
 |
| Denny and Chandler loving the freedom to run around the Festival without parents. |
 |
| Everyone loves riding rides in the rain! |
 |
| Kayden and Zach built this shelter from the rain. Smart boys! |
