Since Nano has been a little slow and unmotivated to write a blog, I decided to write a quick one about our family's train ride to Salt Lake.
On December 23rd, Nanette and I finally found the time to just hang out with the boys and take a train ride down to Temple Square. We had been getting Ethan and Logan very excited for the whole adventure so when we arrived to the train station in Ogden, Ethan just perked up and was anxious about getting on..."It's going to leave us, we need to get on." It was funny. Eventually, after purchasing the tickets, we sat on the top level of the train and waited for the departure. These are pictures of us. Ethan never stopped smiling the whole train ride down.
Ethan "Cheesing" it before the train left.
Nanette and Ethan enjoying ride.
Logan is just "whatever."So as it turns out we finally made it Salt Lake. We first headed to the Gateway Mall for a quick meal. Nanette and I had subway, Logan had a corn dog, and Ethan at a hamburger at McDonalds. Of course it was the usual spill the water all over the floor and the kicking and screaming for not letting them go on the small rides. My favorite 'usual' that night is asking Ethan if has to go the restroom and he says "No!" Then we walk for a few minutes and he says, "I need to go potty bad." Gotta love it.
So we finally made it to Temple Square. It's a beautiful sight to see every time. Of course the hoard of sister missionaries trying to do "member missionary" work that drive me nuts because I just want to see the lights. Also, it's now official too that I don't have to go to my 10 year reunion because I saw enough people from high school there that I don't really care to go to it now :-).

Temple Square during the Christmas Season
I hope everyone had a fun Christmas Season and did some fun things with your families.

Thanks for granting my request for more blogging! Looks like a fun trip - I love how small outings like going to Salt Lake are so big for kids. Hope you guys have a great new year!
If you had just let them ride the little rides in the food court then by the time you left, Ethan would have realized he needed to go potty bad. Kids are smart. Let them ride the rides next time.
We did let them ride the rides. They wanted more. So smart and spoiled.
The best part of our little outing was seeing the excitement on the boys' faces. We definitely will have to do it again soon.
We did that on the 21st and it was fun. All I can say is enjoy those precious children now because when they are teen agers they don't get so excited about cool things like taking a train down to Salt Lake.
