Girl's Day Out - and the Train










So Saturday, the girls and I decided to go see HSM3 at the Gateway. They had been talking about the train (Frontrunner) for awhile and Kendalyn asked if we could ride the train to the movie - sure why not?!?! Now, before I finish my ugh train story, know that I do think it is a good idea for most people and this is only my opinion:) Spence and Grady dropped us off in Layton and we go buy our ridiculously overpriced tickets! I am not kidding - it cost us $16.50 just to ride the thing to the Gateway and back - ugh!!! But, the girls LOVED it and all the excitement of actually riding a train and on the top level and all. It wasn't a bad ride, really smooth actually, but soooo slow. I think we may have topped 60mph maybe once or twice, most of the time we went around 30mph - this bugged me as I am super impatient and was dying to go to Forever 21 before the movie. But at last we made it and the girls were even more thrilled when we got to take Trax right to our stop. I think I have forgotten what thrills you when you are a kid, because this really didn't thrill me, but it was cute to watch them lovin' it. We shopped and ate, and ended up at HSM3 - woo hoo - it was great. I know, I sound super silly, but I actually LIKE all of the movies and I have to say that this was my favorite - same goes for the girls. I felt funny, when I would catch myself smiling or laughing, because really, I think you should be between 4 and 14 to watch this stuff, but oh well. After the show, we went to catch our train, but alas, it wasn't coming for another 45 MINUTES!!! This is where Kendalyn decided it would be better to have our car - I couldn't have AGREED more! All in all, a great success for our GIRL'S DAY OUT! I'll just remember to DRIVE next time:)

You're a babe...Those girls are turning into babe's as well. Spence is going to have to lock them in the closet.

How fun for your girls night out. We like the train, but always have to remember to plan an extra hour, ugh. I took my boys to HS3 with their "dates" my neices, and I have to agree...best one so far! We loved it especially since my cousin is one of the dancers. It was fun to find her all the time!
Love your blog!

Julie! I am totally a High School Musical fan too! I made Trav go with me on Saturday and I loved it. It makes me feel like I am still in the 4-14 year old age group, its great! Way to be a fan!

I sadly loved the movie too. I thought the dancing was amazing, and the storyline was cute. Fun to have a daughter to use an excuse for me to go!
BTW...you are a great SPORT for riding the train. I would've lied and said it was broken or something:)

We have yet to go to the show-but I did ride frontrunner for the first time tonight and loved it! Your girls look so happy! I love leaving the 'boys' home and spending time with the girlies!

Jules- You have the cutest kids! I love that you didn't like the train because our train experience was very similar. Not bad alone but with two little kids a little tricky! Glad that you loved the movie!
