A couple of weeks ago my Mom and I decided to take Anabelle to the Morton Arboretum in Lombard, IL to check out the children's garden. I had been to the Arboretum before but had never visited the children's garden. For years I had been hearing about how wonderful it was. When I was teaching it was recommended as a place to take my students, and then when I joined the Mommy circuit it was again recommended as a place to take Anabelle.
Well it certainly didn't disappoint. The weather was cool but beautiful, and it seems that all the summer crowds were gone. We had a fantastic time climbing, running, exploring, touching plants, and dipping our fingers and toes in fountains. The grounds are full of plants, sculptures, fountains, rivers, climbing areas, little houses, slides, small scale furniture, water fixtures, tunnels, mazes and bridges. There was such a variety of things to do and see that this place would be appealing to kids of pretty much any age. We liked it so much we decided to purchase a yearly membership. I hope this trip is just one of many.
