Railroader's Festival (8.13.11)

August 2011
(Allie was asleep)

Born and raised in Brigham City and I've NEVER been to the Golden Spike.  So when the annual Railroader's Festival came around I knew we had to venture out there.  Kaylee loved the trains.  They were a little scary when they blew their whistles because it was loud but she thought they were so pretty and big.

Touring the trains.

Brennen and I enjoyed ourselves as well.  Brennen was able to reclaim his cow pie throwing title with an astonishing throw of 160 feet.

Cow Pie Champion!

I tried the cow pie throw as well but I wasn't nearly as successful.  Next year maybe.  I just need to get the correct mechanics down.

Kaylee and I enjoyed the egg relay.  We were so close to the finish line when our egg fell off the spoon and broke.  Total bummer.

Rian & Cami taking the lead.

Oh bummer!  There goes our egg.

Brennen and Brian rode the hand rail carts and Kaylee, myself, Cami, and Rian were going to ride the speed car but it broke down.

We watched the golden spike reenactment which was very interesting and Kaylee actually sat so well throughout the 30 minute presentation.  

There were 4 special spikes driven to connect the railway.
2 Gold, 1 Silver, and a Gold/Silver.

Allie did great as well.  She loved watching everyone and only jumped once to the sound of the trains' whistles.

We had such a fun time, I'm sure we will visit again.
