Evan's First Train Ride

Yesterday we spent the day riding a "Cho Cho Train". Evan has become a fan of them lately so we took him on one. We drove up to Sandy to catch Trax to Salt Lake City. As soon as we got in the car Evan started saying "eight". It took us a second to realize that he was refering to song number eight on the CD. Evan had memorized his favorite song on the CD that had been in the car the last couple days. All he can see from his seat is the track number. After the song would finish, he would either say "again" or the track number to his other favorite song. It's a good thing these songs are our favotites too, because he wouldn't let us listen to the other songs on the CD.

Once we got to Salt Lake we got on the Front Runner. We sat on the top of the train since it was a double decker. Evan was being silly with the guy sitting behind him. Evan would stare at him till the guy looked at him and then Evan gave him the cheesiest grin and would laugh and then hide. The gentlemen thought he was really funny. I got a picture of some of it.

Once we got into Davis county I got to see the old house my family grew up in Layton. I also got to see the beauty school in the distance, but the sad thing about it is that it's now a Marinello Hair School. I checked the school's website and it says they're a member of Merinello but I wonder if Fran Brown is still owner. It makes me sad if she's not because she's been in business for as long as I can remember.
Anyways, the Front Runner goes as far as Ogden. We stayed there for 20 mins till it went back to Salt Lake. We sat in a different compartment then before because it had more room for Evan to move around.

Once we went back to Salt Lake we waited for the lights to come on at Temple Square. We kept warm in the Joseph Smith building, listening to a group singing Christmas Songs. The lights were pretty and we saw the different nativity scenes.
