We Are Going "Green"!

Today we decided to be kind to the environment, and not pollute the ozone by driving to Salt Lake, which would also cause global warming, because today is a red day as far as air quality is concerned...........and rode the new FrontRunner train from Clearfield to downtown Salt Lake.

No, no really we took FrontRunner for FUN! That's right fun. Because as Tyson would say "Global warming is a bunch of.............." Well, you know what he would say.

So we parked at the Clearfield station at about 11:00am, and paid for our tickets. The FrontRunner arrived, "All Aboard". Nana, Danny, Jenny, Blaine, and Grandma Nemanich got on board the train.

We rode on the lower level of the train going to Salt Lake. It was a pretty smooth ride, and there wasn't a lot of people on the train. It didn't go as fast as I thought that it would. Danny got her sunglasses out to wear and realized that they were broken. Funny Danny, but she wore them anyway.

We made it to Salt Lake just in time to jump onto Trax. We rode Trax to the Gateway. It was nice not to have to find and pay for a parking spot there. That is a nightmare!

Jenny and Danny wanted to play in the Olympic water fountain.Blaine wasn't to happy about getting all wet. He cried a little bit. Danny was the one that wanted to get the water fun going and she didn't even get wet.

We walked around a bit and then went to the food court and had a not so good lunch. Oh well.

Danny did some shopping at Hollisters, of course, and tried to find some new sunglasses.

Thank goodness Danny didn't buy either of these sunglasses-but I kind of liked the Willy Wanka ones. HaHaHa!!!

Blaine tried to be a good sport in the stroller, but it was hot and he was tired.So we decided to head back to the Trax stop at about 2:30pm. We had to wait a bit for Trax, but luckily FrontRunner was sitting there waiting for us. This time we rode in the upper level. They have some tables, and electric plugs up there. The train swayed a lot more, we figured it would, and we had to wait on the tracks for a while. But it was nice not having to drive in the beginning of rush hour.

We got home and everyone was bushed from walking in the heat. But we had a fun time. We will have to do it again!
