Thanks to Christopher Columbus, the kids were out of school Monday so we decided to go to the Morton Arboretum with some friends. Cade has been there a few times and wanted to go this summer but it was always too hot or raining when we had planned to go so we never went there. I wasn't sure what it would be like, but it was wonderful! I think everyone in the Chicago area went there on Monday, but once we got inside it wasn't too crowded.
Maddi and Emma had fun playing in the childrens garden area.
Emalyn loved the water fountains and was trying to crawl in them. Silly girl!
Such a big girl.
It was so hard to get a decent picture of the three little munchkins.
Another try at a picture, but not so great. Cade looks like he's angry and hurting Emalyn and she looks like she is holding on to them to save her life. I promise that's not really what happened.
Emalyn thought playing with the pumpkins was really fun.
The big kids thought painting the pumpkins was fun. It was a great fall day with so many fun things to do. Our favorite things were the caramel apples, pumpkins, childrens garden play areas, and the mazes. We never did make it to the lake to see the scarecrows even though we were there for almost 5 hours.
I threw these pictures in to show how good Cade and Emalyn play together. Maddi is often at dance so it's just the two of them at home and Cade is such a great big brother to Emma.
You can see they were both having a blast as Cade pulled Emma around the kitchen on a card board box.
Times like these make my heart melt.
