Choo Choo Trains and Spiritual Feedings

We live so close to the old Ogden Depot that I couldn't resist taking Julie and the kids there and then take them on a modern train ride to SLC. It was a great idea. We took them inside and talked to them about what the building was once used for and then went to see the old trains. There, they got to climb and even go in some of the cars. I think we spent a good two hours there before we ventured to SLC on TRAX.

When we got to SLC we had lunch at the Lion House, an old house that used to be owned by Brigham Young, and toured Temple Square. Her kids had never been there and Kaily is getting more fun to take there too now that she asks more questions and knows more about what is going on and who people were. While we were at one of the Visitor Centers and after seeing the Christ statue we went on a tour about families and how they are eternal. I cried, of course. The thing that really struck me was the end though. Conner isn't one to talk very much when there are new people around, he isn't one to voice his opinion to very many people, but when the missionaries asked us our favorite part Conner spoke right up. "My favrite part is learning about Jesus." He looked so beautiful and spoke so clearly at that moment I couldn't help but think about 3rd Nephi when Christ is teaching the little children and how they opened their mouths and spoke. It was a great day!
