You can tell we live out in the middle of nowhere when the fun Family Night activity is a trip to ride on public transportation. ;) Ben took off work early yesterday, and we (Pam, the kids and I) met him for a picnic lunch. After lunch we went to ride on the new Frontrunner commuter train. It goes from Ogden to Salt Lake City. So we hopped on the train, and rode all the way to Salt Lake. It took about an hour, with only a few stops. After we got to Salt Lake- we hopped on the Trax train and rode into Temple Square and went to the LDS Church History Museum.
The Church History Museum was really neat! I'd never been in there before. There was lots of neat stuff to see, it started with the first vision all the way through church history with pioneer handcarts, a wagon, an awesome model ship. Then there was a section that had displays about each of the prophets. But the neatest was an AWESOME display on the Primary theme for the year I am a child of God It was SO much fun!
We could make stained glass picture drawings, make a huge stained glass "window" with plastic shapes.
A huge mural of Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life with signs you could put where they belonged.
Some Puppets and dressups- so you could act out scripture stories, a maze with cars and a magnet to drive the cars to the temple. 
Afterwards we stopped at JB's for dinner then hopped back on Trax, and back on Frontrunner to get back to our cars to come home. It was a fun trip.

The pic of you and Roo is darling! Sounds like a fun time, my kids would LOVE to ride the train!
Andrea, it sounds like you had a lot of fun. I have never been the the church history museum. After seeing your pictures I'm going to have to take my kids.
