shoes, bye-bye, CHOO-CHOO!

That's what we hear everyday when it's time to leave the house. If you look to the left of the train you will see our apartments, that's how close we live to the train. Jason literally has to walk across the train parking lot to get to school and work, SO NICE!
Well I don't know why it took us so long to figure out that Porter can pretty much have a little train ride when ever he wants. He's been on the train before but was not nearly aware as he is now. Jason has a monthly train pass and Porter is free so, last Saturday we had Jason take him on the train down to the next stop. Which is cute Downtown Naperville. We love Downtown Naperville, I can't describe the atmosphere very well, other that it is AWESOME! There are cute little streets with fancy (Expensive) restaurants, awesome shopping(Everything from Gap, to Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and boutiques galore) all with a small town feel! I love it, and not to mention the houses close by are amazing. (Naperville has been in the top 10 best city's to live for 3 years in a row now, that just goes to show how awesome it is!)
Waiting for the train to come!
Downtown Naperville is a whole 7 min. from our house by car, so by train it is like 4 but it's perfect for our almost 2 year old! (Ellery and I just drive down and meet them!)
Porter may not be smiling in these pictures but trust me he had a blast! Sorry no pictures from downtown Naperville, too busy having fun! This is going to happen a lot more, I'm sure!

Hey! We did the same thing in August! Steve and Carter went to the children's museum and had a BLAST! Did you see the video of Carter on our blog? It's sooo worth it! He kept saying over and over again..."This is FUN! This is FUN! This is soo much fun!!!" August 25th post.

Hey Mindi! It feels like it has been forever. What a cute idea to take Porter on the train. Well, when we went out to Utah I had Cafe Rio for you twice. It would have been more but my father-in-law thought it was a rip off and now calls it Cafe Rip-off! Anyways we totally need to get together sometime.
