Happy Birthday, Jared!

Jared's birthday was today. He turned 9 years old. Because his birthday was on Sunday, we did something last night to celebrate. We took the Front Runner (which is the new trax train that goes from Ogden to Salt Lake) to Salt Lake. We got on in Layton. None of us had ever rode it, so we were all excited. Here are the kids waiting for the train.
A cute picture of Michelle waiting for the train.
On the train. I think Luke was the most excited. We didn't tell the kids where we were going until we were almost to the train station.
Jared and Kaitlin.
Dave, Heather, and Michelle.
After getting off the Front Runner, we took Trax a few blocks to the Gateway. The kids had fun playing in the fountains for a little while.
More fountain playing.

We spent some time in the arcade and played some games. Kailtin and Heather are doing a game where they try to copy the dance moves. They were really into it.
Luke playing a game.
Dinner at the food court. Everyone got to choose which place they wanted to get dinner from. Of course, with all the choices, three kids still picked McDonalds.


Jared and his birthday cake.
Jared decorated it himself. I didn't notice the "d" on birthday until I looked at this picture.

Ethan was so excited to see the picture of Jared with his Backlogans? (I don't know how to spell it)

What a great day!!! I love the picture of the kids in a row waiting for the train. My Lilly's FAVORITE words are 'All Aboard!'
