All Aboard!

Daily deal sites have become a great place for me to find fun family dates lately. When I saw this one for passes to the Union Pacific Railway Museum in Ogden, I knew Sammy would absolutely love it! And he did!

This one and the picture below are my favorites.  I love the two of them next to those giant train wheels!

And this picture reminds me of one I have of me and Tyler when we were little ones in front of an old train.  This train was the oldest one they had and I think it was built in the 1930s. How cool is that?

Proof I was there. ;)

Sammy and Spencer checking out a super cool old caboose.  This was one of the last wood cabooses they made.  I can't remember how old it was.  Maybe the 1940s?

Here's Sammy checking out an old machine they used to use on the tracks.  I have no idea what it's called. :)

Lucy up in the top of the caboose. This was inside the museum which was pretty cool but I didn't take very many pictures inside.  There was a whole model of where the Pacific Union tracks went with little model trains going through it.  It was pretty extensive and the kids loved it.

Lucy loved climbing on all the trains and posing for pictures. It was pretty stinkin' cute.

One of the trains, built in the 1970s, still had a bell on it that you could ring.

Spence on the old one.  He got up there and was able to walk on a lot of this old engine.  I think he enjoyed the museum even more than the kids.  Another cool thing we say was the inside of an old mail car and the inside of a medical car they used during WWII.  It was pretty interesting.

And, before we could leave, Lucy had to pose on a couple more trains! She sure is a cutie.
