Morton Arboretum

After we had our pictures taken, we met up with Uncle Phil, Aunt Sandy, Joey and Jillian. We had bought groupons to get in and since we knew they were already members, it was a great place to meet up and have some fun! Before we met up with Terence for our pictures though, Daddy took this one of me with my two oldest kiddos...

Juliette apparently wanted her own picture...

Since we were there before the Kurby's, we went ahead into the kids garden, which is a lot of fun.

The kids (and Daddy) did a fun craft of making love bugs...

While Ben and Abbey were always running off to the next thing to see, Juliette lingered and seemed to just enjoy walking along and stopping to smell the flowers.

Then we got to a fun play area and waited there for the Kurby's. We also saw our friends the Glynn's again! You may recall, we randomly saw them at Arlington Park a few weeks ago. Ben got to play with Keegan for a short while but then the Kurby's came and it was time to move on. Glynn family...we will have to actually plan to meet up somewhere next time!

We came to an area where the kids could wade in the water. I did not want them to go in, but Daddy helped them get their shoes off and told them to have fun, but not get their clothes wet (ummm, yeah that worked). Here is how Abbey tried to fulfill that request...

Joey showed us the cool rope bridges. Ben, Abbey and Joey had a blast going on these and just kept running straight back to the start to do it again and again and again!

We surprisingly didn't take too many pictures...probably because it took all adults to keep an eye on all the kids running around! Kurby family, we had a great time with you guys. Thanks for meeting up with us and showing us around!
