Morton Arboretum

Our Chicago Botanic Gardens got us in to the Morton Arboretum Free on Friday.  It was a great day for it too.  Lately, Josh has gotten our routine, after breakfast, we're usually out in the morning.  However, he's forgotten the step where I normally do a few chores around the house before leaving (i.e. pack a snack, lunch, load or unload the dishwasher, or washing machine).  He's been all about the "go-go", wanting to get in the car and go.  So we arrived at the arboretum earlier than the Children's garden opened at 9:30.  We checked out the children's maze.  It was perfect for Josh.  It was nice to walk through the Conifer woods, too.  If it wasn't further from our house, I might almost like this better than the Chicago Botanic Gardens.  Oh, and the HUGE bees was a check in the "con" column as well.  But was beautiful!

 It was still a pretty hot day on Friday, so this frog water fountains was a big hit.  You can't quite tell from the picture, but Josh was soaked.
