Choo Choo

Addison is really into trains these days. One of his favorite parts of the day is picking up Daddy from the Frontrunner station every afternoon because he gets to see trains...oh, and Daddy too. So in a stroke of genius, Nate decided it'd be fun to have a train extravaganza on Saturday.

We started it off right by taking Daddy's train up to Ogden, which is the end of the line for Frontrunner, so there were tons of trains and buses there.

The view from inside the train!

I think Addison would've been content for at least a week just sitting on the curb watching them all go by. But we got to go inside the train station too, and look in the gift shop (filled with trains).

The very best part was outside the museum/gift shop place. They had five engines all lined up on different tracks with several cars attached to each of them and we got to climb up in them and play! It was so fun, and I think Add was pretty much in heaven.



After we finished, we hopped back on Frontrunner and headed back home, where we got to wave to our train driver as he left. And as luck would have it, a freight train came by just as we got off our train, so we waved to it too. Then it honked and scared us all to death.

I think this was definitely one of those magical times in the life of a parent that makes you forget all the not-so-fun ones.

What does the train say?
