Yesterday the girls and I spent the day learning about Germany. Everyone in my family are considered runts or as my dad said "Heinz 57" which means we have a little bit of everything in us. German and Czechoslovakian blood definitely runs through my veins which means it runs through my girls veins as well. Joe clearly has Italian blood so Ava and Emma are also a little bit of that. Teaching the girls about their roots is fun for me. We ended the day cooking a traditional German feast. Researching and learning about this country taught me two things.
1. Germany is beautiful. 2. I want to travel and show my girls the world. The images that came from Google were amazing. The castles, landmarks, rivers, hills, nature reserves and the mountains were just a few of the breathtaking views we saw while looking at pictures of Germany.
Neuschwanstein Castle. Bavaria, Germany
The girls had a fun time coloring the German flag and learning to say Hello "Guten Tag" and Goodbye "Auf Weidersehen." Joe got home from work and they greeted him the German way.
The German dinner menu consisted of Jagerschnitzel, Spaetzle dumplings and Black Forest brownies for dessert. We learned that the Black Forest is 1 of 97 nature reserves in Germany and it's considered the biggest.
Making their Black Forest brownies
I didn't get a picture of the dumplings and I had every intention on taking a picture of my dinner plate and the final product before I hossed it all up BUT that didn't happen. I hossed it all up and then remembered that I forgot to take a picture. Sorry....
Next country is France!
Enjoy your family~
