St. Nikolaus Train

Our region has one of the oldest working steam engines in Germany, and each year they run a special program during the Advent season for local children which includes a visit from St. Nikolaus while on the train and a stop for hot chocolate, wurst and waffles before returning to the original station. Grams and Gramps Hudock are here visiting and we took them to meet up with the McLallens and Siemanns for our train ride. It was incredibly cold that day, (16F!!) but nice and cozy on the train.



Here are St. Nikolaus, Der Schwarzer Mann with his switches, and a group shot where none of the kids are looking at the camera.



Brennan was thrilled with the train, and hanging out with some of his closest friends and getting goodies from St. Nickolaus is always fun too!
