A few weeks ago we took the kids to Salt Lake on the Front Runner. We made a whole day out of having fun in the city. When we first pulled into Salt Lake on the Front Runner we jumped on the TRAX and headed up to Temple Square where we found the Church History Museum and decided to take a tour. (the flowers below were so pretty and huge, they were everywhere)
While inside the museum, we found lots of fun things to do. The kids had fun dressing up and taking dance lessons. :) 
I would like to introduce you to a future General Primary President! (isn't she a beauty?)
Check this out! A future Apostle. He is one handsome man... (love this kid!)
In the basement of the museum, they have pictures on all the walls sent in from primary memebers of the church. There are temples, churches, families, baptisms, you name it it was on the wall. They also had these cool touch screens that you could draw your own picture and either post it on the screen for people to see during their visit to the museum, or you could send it in an e-mail to yourself. The kids had so much fun making beautiful drawings to share.
Anyone who knows Jake knows that his favorite animal is a Lion, and if he had his way he would probably either own a Lion, or be a Lion. (lol) So when he saw this Lion in the Museum he couldn't jump on it fast enough. I am not sure he was supposed to be there, but he was happy!
Of course the kids loved the escalators!
Ellie insisted on having her picture taken with the (BIG) city in the background.
After the Museum, we headed to lunch at Chuck-A-Rama, and then headed to the Gateway where we enjoyed window shopping a bit. 
Once we were about ready to head home, we stopped by Build-A-Bear and let the kids each pick out a bear to take home. They both chose the MP3 speaker bears. They have a speaker in the foot, and a little pocket on the side with a wire to hook to the MP3. The kids love these bears!
All in all it was a very long, but extra fun day. The kids always enjoy the Front Runner, and I am glad it is something we can do as a family once in a while.
Above is a picture I took that I was just playing around with in photoshop. I love the old picture look. :)
We need to go on the Front Runner we love to go on Trax when we are in SLC but have never tried the Front Runner. Your little excursion looks fun I kind of miss having little kids that get so excited for everything.
