train/trax/train!

We decided to get adventurous the other night.  We took the Frontrunner train to SLC (we've done that before) but then we wanted to take the trax train to Gardner Village which is at 7800S. so we got on trax and took it as far as Murray then switched trax and got on the new line headed west.  It was great fun and quite an experience.(not nearly like New York's subways but still fun!)  It's nice to not worry about parking!  Then we headed back to downtown SLC.  We went to the LDS Church Museum and then to the Gateway to  Clark Planetarium for a  quick look around.  We spent too much time there to catch the 9pm train back to Roy so we went on the 10pm one.  It was a late night but luckily the kids were out of school on fall break.

 Church Museum...it's really a neat place...  they have all these interactive areas and things for children and teens to do.  I even put a skirt on and twirled.

Scotty's Rocket Derby and Arrow of Light!

Scotty has been working hard in Cub Scouts.  He earned a lot of the badges (pins) for Webelos and has now earned an Arrow Light.  He had fun and enjoyed learning new things. He will be 11 soon and will move in to Boy Scouts!
