All aboard the TRAIN

Down at the station early in the morning. See the little Puffer Bellies all in a row. See the engine driver pull the little handle. Chug, chug, toot, toot Off they go.

We enjoyed a leisure day at Ogden's finest "Union Station". Skyler was all about finding a train. He did great while the grownups toured the museum side of things. There were a few things along the way for him to enjoy like getting up in the caboose. That was kind of scary. Even I thought it was a tight fit and high up in the air. We also got to get inside an engine. Then nearing the end of the museum there they were...Trains running behind glass that you could look at. They came and went and came back again. We found a few buttons to push and enjoyed thinking that we made the trains move. Next we headed out to the train yard. We took a guided tour of the train yard and got to go inside real train cars. We went inside a hospital car, mail car, and climbed all over many other train cars. We had a fun trip and then headed back to Grandpa's house for cocoa, cookies & coffee cake. We were telling Sky and his dad about a fun train ride that Mandy had taken the night that we were in the Ogden 'electric parade' welcoming Santa to town and taking him to Ogden's world famous Christmas village at the municipal gardens. We are hoping to take Skyler to see the lights, Santa and ride the train himself.
