Back in the freezing cold winter months, I was chatting with a friend about fun things to do during the summer (moms will do anything to take their minds off of the long, cold, dreary days of winter). We had made an agreement to plan a trip to the Morton Arboretum once (and if) summer ever came. Thankfully, winter did end and as promised, we got together to enjoy the beautiful summer we've had deserved. I had been to the arboretum once before when Caleb and Leah were quite a bit younger, so I was eager to go back again.
The kids had a blast on our trip. It only took about 30 minutes to get to the arboretum and you could easily spend all day there. The children's garden, where we spent our morning, is just one of the many places to see. There are a bunch of different areas for the kids to play, climb, explore, and have fun. Some of the favorites were the tadpole pond (where they could wade in the water and jump from rock to rock in search of tadpoles), the stream (where they could pick up big rocks and build dams to divert the flow of the water), the treehouse (where they could climb up and walk through bridges made of ropes), and the "spiderweb".
