Yesterday, we decided to take the kids to ride the new Frontrunner train that runs from Ogden to Salt Lake. Our plan was that we would go to the Gateway when we got to Salt Lake. Well all good plans can go up in smoke. First off, I rode down earlier in the day to the station in Pleasant View near our house. The internet said that the free rides would start at 2PM. But when I got to the station, not a soul was there. So I went to the one on 25th and Wall. Lots of people there. Both boys had fallen asleep so Ben and I waited and planned to take the 5PM train. When we got back there, we found out that the wait would be about 2 hours just to get on the platform. We really wanted to leave but Jeremy was determined to stay. When we finally boarded the train, it was crowded and we were told that we should stay on the train and not get off or we wouldn't be able to get back on. The last train was leaving coming back from Salt Lake at about 9 and we didn't get on the train until almost 7 and there would be a 2 hour wait again to board again. So we decided to ride it down and back and just get off. Jeremy quickly found that he was bored of the ride and wished we could get off. He and Alex ate all the snacks I had going down and were ravenous (so were Mom and Dad) coming home. Many families were in the same boat as us. So when we got back to the station in Ogden, I had a headache and we were all starving! So I think we can say we rode the train!!
