Ogden Union station

Again trying to catch up on events. Again I am amazed at how much cool stuff there is to do and see in Ogden...

Clayton was in second heaven when we stopped for a visit at the Ogden Union station (he is a huge Thomas the Train fanatic). There is only one thing he likes better than airplanes and that is trains. These trains are large and at first Clayton was a bit intimidated by the sheer size of these engines.



At the station there is a museum (we didn't go in as it was closed) but outside there are a half dozen engines that you can touch, climb on, and well get up close and personal with. These things are sooo cool!



Look how small Clayton is compared to the engines. Even Anji looks like a mini person.



The coolest train was the steamy (as Clayton would say). Look at the detail in the iron work...



When Dani and Jason visit from Colorado, Clayton will be so excited to show his cool older cousins the train museum. His bigger cousin Jackson is probably more of a train fanatic than Clayton is (if that is possible)?

The Hill Air Force base air museum.

I am falling behind again on events that are going on with the family. We are finding out there is a lot of fun things that you can do in Ogden Utah area. A while back we visited the Air Museum with my parents.


The place is free and there has to be something like 50 planes located at the museum. The planes range from world war II era to present day.



Clayton is always glad to see Grandma and Grandpa. My dad served in the Air Force so the Air Museum was right up his alley.



Seeing all of the planes past and present is one of those experiences that makes you feel proud to be an American. Sadly, Clayton's Dad was so busy taking pictures that he didn't take time to read the all the plaques. It is hard to read when your eye is pressed to a view finder.



I guess missing the history written on the plaques is a good excuse to go back to the museum and see more of those awesome planes!
