the arboretum

Today Gayle couldn't work, so lucky me I got to take the day off and be Mom! Just before noon we met Jamie, Evan and Natalie at Mom's for some lunch and then took the kids to The Morton Arboretum. I remember taking Carter there a few times the summer Logan was born and he loved it! It seemed like a lot of sections were not open and planting and such was still not complete, but we had a nice day to be outside and explore the Children's Garden and meet the larger-than-life bugs! It would be great to have a membership and be able to drive over there once a week in the summer - it really is a fun place for the boys to run, dig, splash and explore.

evan was happy to be at the arboretum!
