Salt Lake Adventure

 Today was a beautiful day - a bit chilly, but the sun was shining. I am so antsy to get out of this house, so we planned an afternoon to Salt Lake. 

We really don't venture into the city that often. It's not my favorite place. However, UTA was offering Fare Free February, so Front Runner and Trax were free all month. Guard has never ridden on the train and he really wanted to go.

The trains were pretty crowded. That's what we get for waiting for the last Saturday of the month to go, but we did find seats and on the way home, we even got to sit upstairs. On Trax in downtown, we had to stand, but I think Guard liked that best of all!

Enoch loved standing as close to the moving trains as I would let him and feel the power of them. He loved the ground shaking and the wind rushing by.

Once in Salt Lake, we toured the Church History Museum. It is really fun and they have done such an amazing job with it.

Counting all 5.00 first printing Book of Mormons to make sure they are all there.

Enoch doesn't quite fit in Liberty Jail. It really is sobering to realize the tiny space they had for so long.

Guard loved the play area and we spent about an hour there. He had fun with the puzzles, computer temple coloring pages, building a flower garden, and making his family history tree.

Guard was able to touch a replica of Angel Moroni, but only with white gloves they were handing out. If you touch it with bare hands, it tarnishes the gold leaf.

It was such a fun day! We had a great time as a family and can't wait to do it again!
