Yesterday was a beautiful day in Chicago. It was the first day in a long time that we didn’t need jackets, mittens, boots, etc. I considered taking the kids to Brookfield Zoo, but according to the traffic report, everyone else had the same idea. Instead, I loaded up the kids into the Graco DuoGlider Double Stroller and walked them over to our local Metra station.
Knowing that Sammy would never want to leave, I told him ahead of time that we’d only stay for three trains. We watched two Metras and an Amtrak go by. Even Sophie enjoyed the sounds of the railroad signals and the trains whizzing by. Maybe we’ll go again today and try to get the engineer to blow the whistle for us!
Check out the video I uploaded on YouTube.

Oh man, if I didn’t have to work that day I would’ve stayed for 4 trains!

Nice to see someone else using the same stroller. We got ours almost 4 years ago when our twin boys were born. And it’s still going, even though we don’t use it much anymore.

Erwin - If it were up to Sammy, he would have sat and watched all day.
JV - The vid says it all on how much he likes trains.
Rod - Stroller works really well. It’s a must-have for any parent with more than one toddler.
Thanks everyone for stopping by!
