We spent one Saturday exploring the city of Kempten. Kempten is the largest city in the Allgaeu, with about 60,000 residents. It is one of the oldest (if not the oldest city in Germany). It was settled by the Romans about 2,000 years ago.
We spent the morning visiting the Kempten Market. A great farmer's market with all kinds of produce, meats, cheeses and breads.
After lunch at the market, we headed to the Burghalde Museum. This little museum teaches about the castles that were in this area and about life during Medieval Times.
The girls tried on some of the head-dresses.
Lore Mae playing with the castle, knights and horses. She loves toy animals!
They have many "hands-on" things for the kids. Grace liked trying on all of the knights helmuts.
The museum sold a few souvenirs. The girls purchased a toy sword and sheath. Later, after about 15 minutes of practicing their signature moves, we had a knighting ceremony. Sarah (of course), knighted both Sir Cy and Lady Knight Grace.
Practicing their Battle Cry!
