We, along with the Orrs, recently rediscovered a great Saturday morning activity. The train! We bundled the kids up last Saturday morning and hopped on in Glen Ellyn and off in Oak Park. Given the fact that trains are big business in our house, this was a huge hit. Favorite parts of the morning:
1. The general excitement over getting on the 'choo-choo' and holding the tickets.
2. Eating at our old favorite, Prairie Bread Kitchen. When we lived in Oak Park, this place received a large portion of our 'dining out' budget. The pecan rolls and scones are amazing.
3. Trying not to stare at the horrified expressions of the young couple sitting across from us as they watched 4 adults trying to have a conversation while watching 4 kids under age two. The kids were kind of like snakes slithering all over each other and their parents. I don't think that they'll be having kids for awhile.
