FrontRunner

My Dad called us up and wanted to take the kids on the new FrontRunner. They were having free rides for the public through out the weekend. We knew Parker would love it and that the others would have a good time as well. The rides began at 2 p.m. and you could ride anywhere from Ogden clear down to Salt Lake City and back. We ended up getting to the Roy City stop at about 2:30 p.m. There were probably 100 or more people in front of us, but we thought it would go pretty fast considering the size of this train. Soon after getting in line we were told that they were only letting 30 people on per train and that the trains only came every 30 minutes. This was becoming not so great of an idea. So Dad said he would stand in line while we ran and got some snack for the kids. We ran to a nearby grocery store and just kept tabs on Dad by cell phone while away. An hour went by and with each call the wait seemed to be getting longer. Finally at 4:45 p.m. we got on the train.

During the wait Rob and I decided that the younger kids weren't going to last the train ride down to Salt Lake so we jumped lines and just went up to the Ogden stop and back to Roy. Which was only a 20 minute ride compared to a 2 hour or longer ride. Cambrie and Brennen, my nephew, went with my Dad down to Salt Lake.

Luckily we were able to get a seat together on the top level for most of the ride. Dad, Cambrie and Brennen didn't have such luck. They ended up standing and at times not even being able to sit together. Good thing we sent some books and activities for them along the way. They had a great attitude about it!
