Back To The Arboretum

We had so much fun at Morton Arboretum a few weeks ago that we just had to go back! So we headed over there yesterday with Auntie Di. The weather was perfect, and by the time we left there were just as many people there as on a weekend.

Evie and Gavin moved through the Childrens' Garden a little faster this time, so we were able to explore another section that we missed the first time. We cruised through it and then attempted a lunch break, but the kids were not interested. We got in the car and Diana kept up a steady stream of chatter to keep the kids awake for the 20 minute ride. (My sister is very loquacious and it comes in handy sometimes!)

Evie enjoyed the Frog Pond:



A giant acorn, which we missed last time:



I don't even know what you call this, but we missed it last time, too:


Evie and the water pump - I didn't let her get soaked like before:

Evie has something very important to say here...we're just not sure what it is:

Also, Evie and Gavin want to wish Felix and Pierre a Happy Bastille Day!
