This past weekend was probably the last nice weekend we will have this year. It has been so cool all summer, and today we are down to 60 as a high. But this past weekend the highs were in the mid to upper 70's and it was beautiful. So in order to appreciate the last days of summer we had two (small) families over for BBQ and a game of Settler's on Friday. It was lots of fun although things got going a lot later than I planned. I guess that is what happens when I am at T-ball until 5 and have dinner guests coming at 6, and have a 6 week old to tend to. :)Then on Saturday we went to the city center in Darmstadt and got to go on an hour long Steam Engine train ride. It was pretty cool, and I think we all enjoyed being outside and doing something fun.
{We rode for half hour and then got out and walked around for a short time while they put more coal in the train. For some reason the boys had just watched "Polar Express"the day before even though it is a Christmas movie, so they thought the Steam Engine was just like the polar express.}
{The only downside was the coal dust that landed all over us. I had Brandon in a front pack and covered completely with a blanket and he still got some in his ears, and down his onesie I saw when I changed him later. We all had nice baths that night to get rid of the coal dust. Does anyone remember the firework residue that landed all over Steven when he was a month old? :)}

That looks like a blast! What a cute family you have!
Jason would love that train. How fun for the boys! I love seeing the pictures of Brandon- he looks so precious.
That looks like a very fun outing! It's perfect that you have four boys that will all think boy things are fun and cool. Like being covered in coal dust. You know how that would go over here :)
