Morton Arboretum

Today's fun....the Morton Arboretum.  They have the most awesome children's garden.
There is so much for the kids to do.  

The boys love anything with water so we spent most of our time in the pond and stream.

Ryan spotted a frog, so he and Joe attempted to catch it.

 While we were walking along the stream we found small boats made out of wine corks,
toothpicks and pieces of laminated paper that someone had left.
The boys had so much fun racing them down the river.

Joe even convinced me to help him build a wall to try to trap Owen's boat so his boat

could win.  I have no idea where they get this competitiveness.  ;)

 

It was such a fun morning.  Days like today make my heart extra happy.
