We made carbon 'leaf fossils' made by holding the leaves over a candle flame to collect carbon, and then laying a sheet of paper over the leaves and carefully rolling them with a rubber brayer to transfer to the carbon to the paper.
We made another time line of the earth's age using posterboard placards on small sticks to show the relative points of the various epochs and such; one step equaled one million years. Our starting point was the recycling dumpsters which are the tiny white dot down at the far end of the railing between the grass and the road.

We nipped over to Fuessen to see Hohenschwangau, the castle where Mad Ludwig spent his early years. We gave Neuschwanstein a miss this time.
(to increase readability, the words are pronounced hoe-en-schvan-gow, and noy-schvan-shtein)
Neuschwanstein is on the left, Hohenschwangau is on the right. Tourists rarely see the castles from the viewpoints shown on postcards.
