Pumpkinfest, October 5th

We drove about 40 minutes north of Stuttgart to the town of Ludwigsburg. It is here that Duke Eberhard Ludwig built a baroque residence in 1704. It was a beautiful palace and we could not believe how big it was, it just kept going. There must be over 500 rooms in this place. Every year they have a pumpkin festival. This years theme was space (Nolan was in heaven!!)

Out in front of the residence

Pumpkins and squash made into the solar system

Pumpkin Jambalaya & Curry pumpkin Soup....yummmmmm

A Boat Ride

A neat game where you have to step across the lily pads before the frogs squirt you...Nolan got soaked!!

On the carousel, Nolan loved the golden deer

We couldn't decide if this was a swing or a contraption, but it was a lot of fun
