Last weekend we went to Chicago for the day. Bradley had been wanting to go on a real train ride and Jaxson has continued his obsession with "choo choos" so we paired up with another family and took the Amtrak to the city.
All together we had four adults and five kids and the kids were so excited!
Jaxson spent a lot of time on the train ride looking out the window repeating choo choo, choo choo!
Madison, Owen and Bradley at the beginning of the train ride before they realized the real length of a two hour ride.
The conductor took the kids to the door on the back of the last car and let them watch what was behind us, they thought it was pretty cool! (Yeah, I know there is a weird angle on this picture.)
We finally arrived at Union Station! Now it was time to determine how we were going to get to Navy Pier, we ended up catching a water taxi. The kids were pretty excited to see all the big tall buildings and ride on a boat through the middle of all of them.
Once at Navy Pier we ate lunch and then we went to the Chicago Children's Museum. We have been to the Indianapolis Children's Museum a couple of times and it is fantastic, so it set a pretty high bar for Children's Museums, however the Chicago Children's Museum was almost as awesome.
Jaxson's crawling through the cardboard exhibit.
The waterways exhibit, Jaxson liked this a lot, he was soaked by the time he was finished exploring.
Aside from toting double strollers and all the kids' stuff around the city and up and down stairs, we had a great day.
