So last Saturday we decided to be fun-brave {crazy} parents and take the kids to ride the new "train" - The Front Runner. Well we waited in line for 1 1/2 hours and were on the actual train for 2 1/2 hours.....but we rode the whole round trip, every stop. We {Brian, Brayden and Myself} were ready to get off, Paige could have rode all night. It was OK - crazy busy, but fun to do it with the kids.
Here we are waiting in line trying to find as much shade as possible - it was VERY scarce.
Paige had fun hanging out, messing around with the rocks and kicking the dirt and spinning in circles around the trees.
Brayden finally just decided that time would go by faster by taking a nap...smart kid!

Here we are on the train...

Hanging out....

Being silly....

But having fun!

Oh and we did get a chance to check out the lavatories on board, thanks to Paige...she's always gotta go. So in case you were wondering - they do have potty's on board, but watch out the toilet spits when flushed. ;)

So "free rides day" ....really means - a LONG wait, weird people and sunburns {I'm the only one that got sunburned though- go figure}. But the kids had fun so it was worth it....it helped kill time and wore the kids out AND we still made it home in time to watch the Jazz game so Brian was happy.

Looks like fun! We will have to go check it out. I love the picture with the 'shade'!
I just wrote a comment, but it didn't post, so if you end up with two-sorry.
Anyway, that looks like a fun thing to do with the kids!
Fun. When we were driving to Salt Lake last night we were wondering how many stops the train makes. What a fun family activity!
In answer to your question of how we are doing--we are doing pretty good. I'll call ya and we can catch up.
Glad to hear that you guys had fun. That is how my sister-in-law will be commuting to SLC every day. We need to try it out. We love going downtown on TRAX, Aimee especially.
Sounds like a lot of fun!!! Where does the frontrunner go??? I am really out of the loop!
It has a BATHROOM!?
This I gotta see! :)
what a great idea for some free entertainment, we totally should've tried it.
Fun stuff!! You are so brave to go out and deal with the crowds! Your kids had to love it! I will definately have to check it out!
You are so good to go out with the crowds! I seem to get worked up easily so I have to be careful. :) Fun stuff!
You are too brave...we are just going to see if Al's dad can get us free tokens. I hear it is really fast though.
How fun! I look forward to riding it someday soon.
How fun!! Dax would LOVE to ride the train, I just don't know about going if it takes 2 hours! I need to try it someday though.You guys are such fun parents!!!
