Older pictures I forgot to post

Since I have been back from my trip to the states Matt and I haven't done too much. He has been VERY busy with work. However I forgot that I had taken some pictures from a day trip we took to Cochem (10 minutes at the most from the house) and from Trunk or Treat.

Cochem Castle with the beginning of the changing leaves

View of the castle and town from the bridge (you can walk to the other side of the town)

Decided to give an antique look to this picture

Matt!

Backside of a restaurant across the bridge. The WHOLE wall is decorated with different forms of pottery..vases, plates, tiles, etc

Since not many Germans partake in Halloween activities the base asks for families to decorate their car trunks. This way base children can go from trunk to trunk..."treating". I decided to decorate our trunk like "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". We had a great time! Now on a side note... we were told not many Germans participate in Halloween activities..well I guess they decided to this year! Or maybe they came to our house to see what the "Americans" had to give. We had about 25-30 kids show up..and we had NO CANDY!! AHH! The first couple of kids got poptarts....hey it was the best I could do! Then I found a box of salt water taffy from Matts R & R (do the math to see how old that is...can you guess...2 years! But I tried it and it was still good! lol) Oh well..we will be prepared next year :)

Our trunk! I painted everything except the hanging decorations :)

The people next to us had an AWESOME trunk! They did an Alaskan wilderness theme..with salmon and a duck pond!

Their salmon

Their very own duck...their son! Mom and Dad were dressed in full out fly fishing gear
