A Couple Adventures!

Even though it's still cold out at least the sun has been out the past couple days! We have enjoyed spending some time outside with friends and doing fun things! Yesterday we decided to take the train to Glen Ellyn with some friends from our small group and their kids. We walked to the train station and made it just in time to catch the train to Glen Ellyn. It was a little nuts getting all 6 kids on the train with 3 strollers, but we did it:) The kids had so much fun riding the "choo, choo." When we got off the train we planned on going to 2Toots, a cute little train restaurant right off the tracks. It's the cutest little place to go with kids, but the line was out the door! 5 kids under the age of 4 don't understand "patience" I mean who would at that age? So we left 2Toots and found a cute little Mexican Restaurant to Eat at. It was a hysterically chaotic meal! After lunch, we headed to the Candy store to get some sweets for the kids before we piled back on the train to Elmhurst. Such a fun day and can't wait to do that again! Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Notice, it's just Maddie and ALL boys.

Today Maddie and I met up with my friend Christine and her two girls, Emma and Shelly! We always have so much fun when we hang out! Since they live in the city and we are in Elmhurst, we don't see eachother as much as we'd like, but when we do we both get a "high" from being together:o) So today we met them at Navy Pier. We had so much fun walking around, eating, doing different kid activities, and just being together! Here are some pictures from our visit! So thankful to only be 20 minutes from the city so Maddie can have every opportunity!

Gotta love those silly mirrors!
Christine and I were having more fun than the girls!

Such a fun day with great friends! We are looking forward to the next time!!

Here are just a few other pictures of my VERY happy girl!

Maddie was being a little serious during the photo shoot, but we were still able to get some cute shots! Here are some of the pictures of our grown up 2 year old!
