Train Tour

We went to the Union Station in Ogden last week. Disney was promoting their new 3D movie "A Christmas Carol". They had a train that we toured that showed how they made the movie. It was pretty cool. After the train tour we saw a preview of the movie. 3D is really cool. The movie comes out November 6, on Alex's birthday. Jim Carey is Scrooge. Collin Firth is Scrooges nephew.
We had to wait in line for 3 hours! I'm not sure it was worth the wait but we made it.

Nibley Heritage Days 2009

Nibley Heritage Days was June 15-19th. It is always a lot of fun. This is the bike parade on Monday night.

Alex with Dan and Sam, they are wearing big glasses. The kids decorated their bikes and the trailer for the parade.

One of the funnest parts of Heritage days is the children's play. Alex and Amiah were in it this year. They performed "The Goose Girl" by the Grimm Brothers. Alex was King Dimitri, one of the main characters. Amiah was a maiden. She is in a purple skirt in the back left hand corner of the above picture. I helped sew costumes for the play, I think Amiah is wearing one of the skirts I sewed.

The kids practice the play everyday for a week and a half then perform is Thursday and Friday night. Alex managed to talk Grandma and Grandpa Orth into coming from Pocatello to watch the play, Aunt Shelly, Aunt Delain, Rachelle, Elizabeth, and Matthew also came.

After the play they always have a movie in the park. This year we saw Madagascar 2. My kids sold light sticks for a quarter. This is our third year selling them, they always have a lot of fun.
