Well today we had one of those days. Kolton & Hayden had gone down to Provo to attend the BYU game with the ward so it was just us & the younger 3. Kelly & I hit a couple yard sales in the morning and had been talking about how we wanted to spend our day. We wanted to do something fun and only having 3 kids was a huge difference. We had them hurry & shower, get cleaned up, packed a back pack and were off... We had an adventure to take
A few months previous our state got this neat new transportation system. We had been anxious to take it but just hadn't. Well, today was the day. We didn't tell the kids where we were headed we just headed. We got on the train just a few miles from our house and headed south. So once on the train the kids were anxious to know where we were going.. We kept telling them we were going on an adventure. They loved it.. I loved it! I loved looking at each of the kids as they were looking out the train window with wonder, excitement and a little bit of where in the heck are Mom & Dad taking us in their eyes. They were all smiles
We rode Frontrunner down to salt lake and from there hopped on Trax to the Jordan Commons & the Mayan. By this time the kids were starting to figure out where we were headed. They were super surprised when they looked up as we were walking across the parking lot to see Grandma & Grandpa. They had been to a meeting in Salt Lake so it worked out perfect that we could meet up together.
It was so fun to be with them. I also called Kolton's cell and found out they were on their way back from Provo so our neighbor dropped Kolton & Hayden off at the Mayan too. They were able to ride Trax & Frontrunner home with us. What an awesome day!
