Frontrunner

On Saturday we decided to take the new Frontrunner train to SLC and had lunch. The stop is pretty close to our house and we got right on. It only took 30 minutes to get to there, which is about what it takes in a car. We had a yummy lunch and walked around Gateway for a while, then coming back we got to the station as the train was leaving, we ended up having to wait for an hour for the next train and then the half hour ride home. It was then that we decided it would have been better to have the car! But for a one-time ride on the train it was worth it!

Sunday was Stake Conference and a good opportunity to be out of town since I would not miss any meetings, so we went down and spent the day with Dad and Elaine. Dad turned 86 three weeks ago and is thankfully very healthy and happy! I am so glad that he has Elaine to be with. It was really hard seeing him when mom died, he was so alone and seemed so lost. Elaine is a wonderful grandma for Bri and we love having her be part of our family. It is hard to believe they have been married for almost eight years! My sister Marf and her family also went down to visit. Bri had her cousins to play with, which made the trip even that much more fun! (thanks marf, if you ever read this...you slacker!)
