Morton Arboretum




We are in Chicago now doing the summer thing. So far its been great. The apartments are decent..some of the better ones we've been in. It's been nice coming back to a familiar area instead of something completely new. I haven't had to find all the necessities...Target, the mall, Walmart. And what makes it even better is we are out here with some really good friends. For me that is a summer make or break. Its nice to always have someone that wants to go to the park, mall, take a walk, just to pass the time. And comforting having someone that can relate with me about this job. They are my extended family because we get so close. Anyways. The other day we took all the kids to the Morton Arboretum. It has lots of fun outdoor activities for the kids. Playgrounds, a little stream to play in, ponds, walking trails, a maze. Just a really fun place. We spent the majority of our time at the stream. The kids loved playing in the water and moving the rocks. The pond had hundreds of little tadpoles and Kami wanted to try to catch some. She got right in there and she actually caught one. I love the picture I got of her with it because it shows just how excited she was that she did it. It was a good day!
