We recently renewed our membership to the Morton Arboretum.

For the summer months, it has definitely been worth it. Especially since Jack is starting to get to the age where a city playground isn’t stimulating enough for him.

I was able to take all the kids today with the help of my father, who is retired (and made the mistake of telling me about it). 

I leaned on him to help me for 2 or the 4 weeks Ben is out of school.

Just one of the kids.

Tadpole Pond

What I love best about this place is that it works for all ages.

Ribbit Exhibit

Right now we spend all our time time the Children’s Garden, but as they get older, I want to do some biking and hiking. It’s so big, I’ve only seen probably 1/10th of the place!
