Morton Arboretum

Today Riley and I met Granny, Aunt Shannon, Juliet (her friend Maggie), Jadyn, and Eli at the Morton Arboretum. The weather was so nice today and the kids had a ball being together. They got very wet in the children's garden multiple times, climbed many things, and were super silly. The grown ups got quite a workout pushing the strollers. You see...the Arboretum has a special exhibit this summer called Animal Houses. The grown ups were all set to hike to see some of them, but when I say hike, I mean hike. Some of it was on gravel roads and a lot was up hill. The kids had fun in the 4 houses we did see, but the grown ups opted for more time in the children's garden as opposed to more hiking around to see more of the animal houses. Today turned out to be a great day! I can only speak for Riley and I, but we had a great time! You will see in the pictures that she was wiped out, but this picture was taken on the driveway and she only fell asleep when we got on I-80 (for those who have never been to our house before, that is only about 5-10 minutes away from home). Think maybe an early bedtime tonight:)
