Morton Arboretum

Where are the frogs??

Today Grandma Kathy and I took the kids to explore the Morton Arboretum. This is a beautiful, meticulously kept collection of trees and plants from around the world. We explored only a small portion of the 1700 acre outdoor museum. There is a children's section with streams in which Alex loved splashing around and an array of interactive displays. We drove to a second section of the park to explore a few over sized "animal houses", which happened to be adjacent to the Buckeye trees :) Everyone was pooped by the ride home, especially Abby who only had to sit in the stroller and look cute all day!
