A Big Day for the Proulx's.

Josh decided to take us all out for a big, huge day trip. There's a double decker train that runs in Salt Lake that he's been wanting to take the boys on for a while. Yesterday, we took our maiden voyage on the Frontrunner.

It was pretty fun, and the boys were thrilled as evidenced here by Googie's inability to contain himself:



Joshie looked out the window the whole time taking in the sights. Jordan talked to complete strangers, and Jadon chattered incessantly about Santa Claus.

My mom and I just tried not to puke.

Here are more pics of the train ride:









We arrived not a minute too soon to the California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. My mom and I were seriously considering eating our own arms out of shear desperation for food. The following is evidence that we do feed our mom, and not force her to do hard labor w/o payment (she gets 3 hours off on Saturday.)


(you can clearly see the old lady eating, and even enjoying a taboo cup of coffee)

Now, the true highlight of the evening, Temple Square Christmas Lights:







The lights were really beautiful. It was pretty crowded at the Square which made things difficult as far as hanging on to the kids.We told the kids Santa does not visit the homes of children who do not hold the hands of an adult in a crowded, public place. Jordan got confused and tried to hold the hand of the homeless guy at the gate when the man reached forth asking for change. We explained to Jordy that the hand he held had to be of an adult he was related to.

Jadon speculated that there were probably 50-hundred-trillion lights on the trees, which is pretty close, I'd guess.

Thanks to Josh for a fun night.
