Ogden Union Station Museums Day

-

We had a fun afternoon with Grandma P visiting the Ogden Union Station Museums.  We got to see the most complete collection of Browning Guns, Saw really neat old cars from the early 1900s owned by the Browning family, explored a really HUGE miniature train recreation of the train route from Kansas to Utah, and explored lots of interesting old train artifacts and fact.  We even had time to check out the wild west exhibit.  We had lots of fun checking out these fun mini museums.  John is currently crazy about all things train so I'm sure we'll be back again soon.
Grandma remembers coming into the Ogden Union Station as a train passenger 3 times as a child.  That was how she would come all the way from Maryland to visit her family in Utah.

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
