Frontrunner

We just got a new commuter rail train that goes from Ogden to SLC. They were letting people ride for free for a few days so that people could see what it was like. We have been watching the building process and we were excited to try it. But, we are usually busy every night except for Monday. So we decided that for FHE we would ride the train to SL go have some dinner at the

Gateway and then come home.

We got to the station and there was a lot of people and this other family that was coming home from our ward told us not to get on cause it was too crowded. We still wanted to try it! We got on a crowded train (standing like tunas) and rode down. We got off, ate dinner at Panda Express. We had some ice cream and then we thought we were going home...

There was a ton of people with the same idea. So we didn't get on the first train but we got on the next one. We even got seats on the 2nd level. We would be home about 9:30 that's not too bad (we thought). Well, we came down to get off at our stop but the doors would not open so we had to keep riding. We finally got off at the next stop. And then we had to wait for the next train. Once the train came, the doors would not open so we had to run to the other doors. We thought we would miss it again! Luckyly there was another family that had the same problem and they held the door open for us.

We finally got home at about 11:30. Everyone exhausted and some still had homework to do. The kids say that they will not go on frontrunner ever again! What a memorable experience that we will never forget!
