On Saturday 22 June we went to see Monsters' University; we enjoyed it. That was also the Colvers' first anniversary and we gave them a duplicate of their wedding cake since we ate the original while they were honeymooning. On Sunday they hosted family dinner and we gathered in their front yard. The rest of the week was less exciting, although Maren and the boys hiked with friends to Stewart Falls. There was also some bonding time with the cousins. Today we rode to Salt Lake City on FrontRunner and Trax. Our destination was City Creek where the ladies shopped and I spent some quality time watching the fountains. We had lunch in the food court and topped it off with gelato at Harmon's.

How hard is it to just smile?
Maxwell is a relaxed eater
Lizzie is also quite relaxed

Who can resist?
The fountains kept the non-shoppers entertained
The fountains go all Bellagio on the hour

Lunch on Arne Jacobsen chairs
This picture caught them at low ebb; they were actually quite
excited by the fish in the creek

Back on Trax headed to the intermodal hub

The local version of the Polar Express
The FrontRunner trip was delightful providing an entirely different and fresh perspective of the Wasatch Front. The train felt slow, but when it ran parallel to the freeway, it was passing even the speed demons. The return trip was lively with what appeared to be several extended family groups made up of many exuberant children. Maren reminded me that this is Utah and I really must expect this sort of thing. I now know what the Polar Express would be like.
The Hastings will be here soon, so the fun will continue right into the 4th of July. This, however, is all for now.

The Frontrunner looks excellent. Will have to try it.
You are doing it all without us. Dang we were waiting to see MU with y'all.
I hardly recognize that place! City Creek, Trax, and Harmon's has gelato!?
