Nikolaus Steam Train Ride

This was a special ride on a steam train, especially for Nikolaus, leaving from Darmstadt main station and making a stop in the woods before getting back to town, with a visit from Nikolaus on the way.

Arriving at the station. We just told the boys that we were going to the station to look at trains. So, they were pleasantly surprised to see a steam train and even more surprised to learn that we were getting on it!

Cuddle time ♥

Really cool looking roots
