My lovely, Helmut!!!

Helmut made a delicious muslei for us to enjoy!

Breads, cheeses, and meat...what a delicious breakfast for us!

The girls just love them!

The weather was unseasonable hot!  We cooled off in the Ammer.  The water was so cold!

Strolling down the streets of the town. 

Taking a turn up the hill to Schloss Hohentübingen.  It has records going back to 1078.  The old city survived intact from WWII.

It has amazing 360 degree views!

We took a punt boat ride down the Neckar.  It was so much fun!  The girls got into the water and helped steer the boat!  A punt is a flat bottomed boat with wooden slats that become seats while the "captain" drives with a long wooden stick to steer down the river.

Emilie, Lilli, Lucky and the girls

We had a BBQ outdoors and above the flat where we once lived.

We couldn't leave Denmark without getting a Danish for breakfast!  We weren't disappointed with Lagkagehuset!  Great coffee and a wide array of treats!  YUM!

We made it to the airport and found our terminal!  The girls are such great little travelers!  They know the drill.

Next stop...Stuttgart!

Our dear friends, the Klepsers picked us up in Stuttgart and brought us to Tübingen where we spent the remainder of our vacation and time in Europe.

Rosi and Helmut were ready for our arrival!  They graciously let us stay in the 2nd floor flat of Rappstraße 5!  It was like we never left!  It was all so familiar to us.  

Rosi and the girls and I helped make Maultaschen which is a traditional German Swabian dish.  It is pasta dough with a minced meat, spinach, onion filling.  It is delicious!  Rosi sautés it with carmelized onion.  

German potato salad

It was great to see our German friends who were like grandparents to our kiddos!  

Rappstrasse 5 is now white instead of pink!

Tübingen is such a beautiful university city!  We loved living here for a year in 2007.  It was such a special time!

A glimpse of Hohentübingen.

Live music

Having some drinks at a cafe and soaking up the atmosphere!

Hannes and his family invited us to a BBQ and met us downtown,

with his sweet dog, Lucky.

The girls were instantly smitten.

We then met his girls, Emilie and Lilli at their house and Steffi too.

Some friends of theirs joined us for dinner that night.

Lilli, Allie and Isabelle became fast friends!

The kiddos all hanging out inside!
