Freezing Cold FrontRunner

Standing outside in the bitter, bitter cold for over an hour. But Dubs was determined to wait it out.
Oh look, here it is again and we can't get on yet.
We made it Mom!
Checkin' it out, Natch.
Trying not to let me take a good photo. Jokes on him though!
Wearing his Pirates of Croatia shirt Grandma Sandy picked up in... Croatia.
 
On the big opening day, (December 8th), we waited in line for over an hour for our "free" ride on the FrontRunner. Apparently everyone else thought it would be a great idea too! (Did I mention the bitter freezing cold?) When we finally got on, I found a seat for Wyatt, but I had nowhere to sit until we got to the Thanksgiving Point stop. I had daydreamed about looking out the window as we rode along. Reality: It got dark in about five minutes, and we spent the rest of the ride staring at our own reflections and the unsavory characters on the train. There was one bathroom and a very long line. Finally Wyatt could hold it no longer and had to go in, only to find an overfull commode. One of the workers said there are actually 2 bathrooms, but they decided to just hook one up. (Brilliant move UTA!) The plus side of this trip was that Wyatt really liked it and thought it was cool.

I like the way they are looking different directions

I'm trying to get in as many end-of-summer outings as possible. Today we went with my friend Erika and her boys Skyler and Xander. I couldn't remember the last time I went to Cascade Springs, I didn't know that you now have to pay to drive up there ($6).  I thought it would be cooler up there but it was still very hot, and I wanted to jump in those springs. It smelled so good all the way up and down, I have a feeling I'm going to be hitting the canyon a lot in the upcoming weeks!
