Fun and Games cont. - Visit to the Schafhof

 Zach and I got to visit the Stifter family at their farm. Leonie Braun was there as well and we got to see her and Caren take care of the horses. Harald then persuaded me to ride one of them and I consented, provided that Caren (10 years old) would lead it and make sure nothing would happen. She did and I was able to ride her small pony for a while.

 The men were distracted by Fred the cat.

 Zach found a new friend.

All by myself!

 We then went to the house and played a heated game of Risk (which I won) and Scotland Yard. Joel was Mr. X and successfully dodged us until he won.

Fun and Games...

 Traditional Siedler match. (Daddy won) It was due to his long perusing of the board at the beginning and his superior placement of settlements.

All my favorites: Hutzelbrot!!

 And for our Christmas walk we went to the Kocherursprung, which was very active, due to all the melted snow.

 Interesting bit of history. The gunpowder birch.
