Garden

The kids and I took another little adventure to the Morton Arboretum. Wednesday's are 1/2 price day and it was well worth the cost.

Awesome mazes for the kids.


Macker love it.

This crazy was eating candy at 9:30 in the morning.
The flowers were amazing.
Sissy tried out a dog house. ( I hate dogs)
Junie tried out the pond.
They loved it.

Bugs.
Huge tree houses.

Even Macker and I did this one.

Playing in a little creek for HOURS!

Macker couldn't resist the fun.
He was so dirty.

On to a different tree house.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm addicted to macro.
Life sized animal houses. See the huge birds nest?
My 3 BFF's.
Beaver house.
Squirl house.

12
Raccoon house.


The end.

Another Splash Pad

We drove about 25 minutes to find this one.
They spent the majority of the time in this big field having fun with some friends.
Macker got tired.
On to shopping.
And a play area. Can anyone find Macker?
Then kids eat free dinner. Can you tell why this guy is so happy?
Sissy spoils him!
Big time!
Why was I
taking pictures
in the lobby
of a restaurant?
I miss Scott!!

Monday

Scotty (accidentally) banged Sissy's face with a toy.
Scott, Amelia wanted you to see it. She also has a stye in her eye. Poor girl.
We have a new pet. Super fun game, walking Macker.
On to a free outdoor concert for kids.

Sissy and June had the front row.




It was a beautiful night.
We were just missing Big Scott!!

Splash Pad-ish

Someone had told me about a free splash pad in the area so naturally we needed to check it out.
This is it. Seriously, hardly enough water to even get wet. LAME.
Junie like it but something happened to his tongue and he needed me to take a picture to show Dad.

Downtown!

It was the hottest day in Chicago in couple years so we decided it was important to get to that awesome splash pad downtown. We hurried out of church and straight to the train station.
Lunch on the train.
Does anyone recoginze these shoes?
Waiting for a water taxi. (boat)

On the boat. Do you think Junie was a little excited?!
Nice back-to-back shindoos.
There were only 4 other people on the entire boat so we had plenty of room to have a photo shoot.

After the boat ride we watched it sail away.
The were so happy to get wet and cooled off.
Scotty made these new BFF's.
Mr. Wonderful!
Sissy does the best job with him.
This is pretty much what Scotty did the entire time.


Precious Sissy! *******Only 6 days till Scott's home.*****
