Mason's first train ride

Mason has been asking to take a train ride for some time now. I needed to have all the logistics ironed out prior to his first train trip (I know, I'm such a mom). I knew we would need two adults involved. I knew mason wanted to ride the train but I wasn't sure how he would feel once on the train so I wanted him to be able to get off at any stop and have a ride home.

Matt took the day off last Friday and we figured it would be a great time to take a mini trip. Ava and I dropped them off at the Hinsdale station and waited for them in LaGrange. Mason did great on the train and now asks more often if we can take a commuter. So I see many more rides in our future. 

Here are a few pictures of Mason & Matt's adventure:

The train ride was followed by hitting up the toy store, grabbing hot dogs for lunch and taking Mason to Tates (an old fashion ice polar) for some pink and blue ice cream.
