Yesterday morning my mom text me and told me that they were going to go up and ride the Front Runner. The day started out that we were going to go and then we weren't and finally that we were going.
Arlee and I met a portion of my family at the Trax station and rode it to Salt Lake Central Station where the Front Runner was waiting for us (Hans was at school). We ran across the platform, pushed the button for the door to open so we didn't miss the train, the doors opened, we hopped on and quickly found our seats so we didn't get tossed around much like we did on trax when it was ready to go. Being the guy that my dad is he started timing as soon as I said that we only had three minutes left until we were to be leaving. Well.... we waited and waited the train wasn't moving and according to the schedule it was supposed to be moving at this point. After waiting for about fifteen the train started moving. My nephew was so cute. His eyes lite up and a huge smile on his face. Jayden loved riding on the "choo choo train". It was a forty-seven minute ride from Salt Lake to Ogden.
Once we got to Ogden we got off and had bathroom breaks and got some lunch. After lunch we went to the Train Museum- that was just next door to the train station and played around until the next train came. We made the next train with no problems and this time less time to wait. We did have to wait for the Trax train though this time and still are not sure why. Once we got going on Trax it didn't take too long to get back to where our cars were. Arlee and I said good-bye and then we went home. It was a fun-filled day and it was time to relax at home with Hans.
