The Frontrunner

We did it.. so we could say we did it, and I don't think we'll do it again .
As everyone knows, the Frontrunner was offering free rides for a few days. We were going to go Saturday, but heard how long the lines were, and how crowded it was and opted out. Landon was really bummed (ok.. I was secretly bummed too) So we coerced Dave into taking the day off today so we could ride it to Salt Lake and hang out at the Gateway. We didn't have to wait in line at all, which was nice! However, when the train got to us, it was already packed with people. So Landon and I found a seat near the window and Dave had to stand in the front with Dawson who was being VERY fussy. We boarded in Clearfield, and I swear it took us an hour to get there with all the stops. I got a little nauseous (which isn't unusual for me) which may have made the ride seem longer. Landon LOVED it, and thought it was sooo cool to ride a real train. That's all that really mattered I guess.
We thought the gateway was going to be closer than it was, it still wasn't far, but my ankle still has issues, so it was sore and swollen by the time we got there. So we decided to make it quick. We took Landon to Build a Bear. He has been wanting to build one for so long, so we thought it would be fun to do today. Right when we walked in I saw this hideous Dinosaur on display. Right then I knew that was what he was going to pick. He's not obsessed with dinos by any means.. but I knew my child and of course, it's what he picked, even thought there were tons of cute little fluffy bears. He named him Argo. Don't ask me where he came up with that one.

The ride home was much more enjoyable, since everyone gets off at the SLC stop, there was plenty of room. We got to sit on the upper level, Landon thought that was sooo cool. We all got to sit next to each other and Dawson fell asleep and slept most the way back. Overall, it was a good time, but I don't see us doing it again anytime soon :)

Here are some pictures of our adventure.
