Union Station

Sometimes the coolest attractions are in your own back yard. After some time indoors with the Arts program watching Daelynn, we went outside to see the trains. Samuel and Gabriella were fascinated. Due to the importance of the railroad in Utah's growth, O-town's hub has become a museum for some major engines.
Which crossing shall we take first kids?
Our little engineer.

Gabrie's telling us that this one isn't safe to walk on.

Sure enough, Rebecca's pretty sure they're only keeping it for artsy photos like this one.

More stormy weather sends our adventure to a close.

It was really neat to see how tall trains are up close and personal and to know that there was a train car for everything at some point from mail, to medicine, to luxury, and even lighting Olympic torches. The best part was watching Samuel's face light up with so much excitement and curiousity as he declared some trains were "bwoken" and needed "tapes" and "ba-wah-wies" to fix them. Cute stuff!
