Train Ride

So, Jaden has been begging for the longest time to go on a train. We took him on the trolly downtown, but he wasn't fooled :) So, everyday when we go past the train rails, he asks, mommy when are we going to ride? Or he'll say, we need a ticket mommy to ride the train. We had made plans w/my mom and sister Melanie and her family to take the train to Chicago New Years day to go to Shedd's Aquarium. But, on Sunday, we discoverd the train we were planning on taking would cause our trip to Chicago take over 4hrs! So, then we started replanning everything. We ended up deciding to just take the train to BC New Years Eve so that Jaden could get his train ride. We were supposed to do the Aquarium New Years Day, only drive to save time. Well, it ended up just being me and the boys on the train to BC. Luckily we were able to sit in the snack car. The boys ate their McD's and enjoyed their freedom. They were both THRILLED w/the train ride! We ended up not going to Shedd's bc my sis backed out last minute, and my mom and I didn't want to drive just for the boys. Hopefully we'll try to make the trip another time. We took the boys to GR and let them play in the play land and ride the carosel. They still had a good day. Anyways, here's a pic of the boys and the train.
