Family Fun

Since the boys love trains so much, we decided to take them on the frontrunner. We took the frontrunner down to Salt Lake, then rode trax to The Gateway and went and saw Madagascar 2. The boys had a blast. We told them the day before that we were going to go and that's all Alek could talk about. Which was weird, cause I thought it would be Jaxon talking about it. We went to the frontrunner station and bought our tickets. The kids were free so we gave them the receipts so they could have a ticket. They were so excited. The boys thought that we were going to watch Madagascar on the train so the whole way down they were asking when it was going to get dark so we could watch the movie. Joye was a stink during the movie so I didn't see much of it, but the boys were glued. When we went to catch the frontrunner back we had to wait for 30 minutes for the next train, it was so cold! The boys kept warm by running around but I pretty much froze.

How fun!! I have wanted to take Gavin on trax for the same reason but haven't had a chance to yet. Avery was horrible when we went to Madagascar too! I spent the whole movie walking around the halls with her. I would get her to sleep, and go back into the theater, and as soon as I would sit down she would start screaming again. It will be a long time before I take her to another movie.
