"Von der Höll ins Paradies"

Today we went on a 7.1 km hike and wine tasting tour in Oberkircher, Germany. I was hoping for a leisure walk with a glass of wine, but it ended up being a pretty difficult hike (especially with 2 strollers and 6 kids) through the vineyards and up to a castle with 7 wine stops along the way. It is always easier to hike when there is another wine stop up ahead!

The beginning of the hike - it started with a slow climb.

Yes, my wine glass was tied around my neck!

Friends!

Right as I was about to take the picture, Ken spilled his glass of 

wine even though it was tied around his neck. 

Take 2.

Love them!

 Taking a well deserved rest.

3/4 of the Swayman family. 

 Having so much fun!

All 3 girls did great! They walked the whole thing without complaining.  

Tired boys.  

Almost losing the strollers down the hill.

 The castle at the top.

We were all standing next to a big drop off to have a group photo. Someone gave the stroller a little push and it took off over the side. Kens reaction was "Is there a kid in there?"

No kids were in and the stroller was rescued. 

Britax makes a sturdy stroller - nothing was broken!

The group photo! We are hoping to go back next year - maybe with no kids next time....
