The Trapp family, which is made up of Scott, 57, Kristine, 52, Savanna, 27, Molly, 24, and Adam, 22, has an average height of 6 feet, 8.03 inches.
Their combined height is equivalent to half the length of a tennis court, Guinness said.All the Trapp children, who are from the town of Esko, played sports throughout their childhoods and were recruited by colleges for either basketball or volleyball."Coaches always said to us 'you can't teach height.
You’re either tall or you’re not,'" Molly told Guinness World Records in a story about them shared this week. The youngest member of the family is Adam, who towers over his siblings and parents at an astounding 7 feet, 3 inches tall.
