Front Runner With Grandpa

Monday, July 21st, we went on a little trip with Grandpa and Grandma Stewart. We packed a lunch that the kids carried in their backpacks. Mason was so excited to wear his new Spiderman backpack. Kaylee used her old preschool bag. It wasn't as exciting for her as it was for Mason.

We started out at Smiths by my house and rode the Max Bus (which has fewer stops) to the trax station. Here the kids are patiently sitting waiting for the next trax to come by and take us down town.

Michael and Megan were showing off their silly faces!

After we got on Trax, we rode that down to the Front Runner Station which is located next to the Gateway. The Front Runner is a train that runs from Ogden area to Salt Lake. The kids were excited to ride on a train. It was a Double Decker train so we had to sit on the top level.

We got off the Front Runner in Ogden and had a picnic. Mason was so hungry that he carried his lunchable in his hands from the train to where we stopped. He would not put it back in is backpack.

The from the Front Runner Station, we walked about a block to the Browning Museum. This use to be a train station that my Grandma Stewart worked at before she got married. I guess she worked in the Laundry area cleaning sheets for the trains that had the overnight stays. Of course they changed it into a museum so it wasn't the same, but it was still really neat. In one part of the museum they had old cars from the early 1900's. They also had a lot of Browning Guns that I know Jer would love to look at. Outside they had a large train that we were able to look in and climb on.

Here all the kids were playing in the engine area of the train. Thank goodness for Grandpa and Grandma's willingness to take all the kids up there. (Sorry these aren't the greatest pictures. I was having a rough time with my camera then.)

After looking around the museum, we loaded back up on the Front Runner and headed for home. It was a long day, but was really fun.
