The Big Trains

Marc is now working nights and his days off are Monday and Tuesday.  He is also working in Ogden.  Monday he decided that we should take the boys to the Union Station Train Museum in Ogden.

Ogden has these horses all over town and each one is painted differently.  They are pretty cool!


Right out of the car we spotted the Big Trains!  Too bad there were signs everywhere saying "Do NOT Climb on Train. "  Griffin wanted to go INSIDE the train and was pretty sad when we told him that we couldn't.  Luke does not like to be hot and he said he wanted to go home after only 5 minutes of arriving. 
The steamy on the right was HUGE!


I think this one was my favorite.  So cute and vintagey!
So after we checked out the big trains that were outside, we headed in for the station and once we stepped inside and peaked into the museum we made the decision that it probably wasn't the best place for 2 crazy little boys.  It looked like it was more appropriate for an old man with a bunch of model trains in his basement.  By this time the boys were hungry for lunch and hot from being outside so we headed back toward home.  Well Griffin was ticked because he thought that he was gonna go and be able to play with lots of trains... not true, but once we bribed him with some french fries he lifted his spirits!

Here is Ez just hanging out and enjoying the shade

So even though we didn't actually go in the museum or "play" with any trains, Griffin said, "IT WAS AWESOME!"  So that made the long drive and cranky kiddos worth it!

Oh how fun! These trains are awesome! I notice that they don't have an Amtrak train - probably because they are NOT AWESOME! I love all these activities, they are great memories! BIG KISS to all of you!
