After Legoland and some lunch, we headed to the Morton Aboretum. That place is HUGE! There is a Children's Garden as well as there "park area". The rest of the Aboretum is so big that we drove through it. They have all of the trees grouped a like and labeled to be read as you drive by. We drove through on the way out. We started in the Children's Garden (it closed the earliest).
The first "activity" we found was a huge ball that sat in a base filled with water and Marc could help spin it around in the water.
There was a huge rope "spider web" for the kids to climb across.
There was a whole series of streams that connected together that kids could walk through, or as some did, swim in.
There were about 4 tree houses that had crawling nets and a bunch of neat things for the kids to explore.
There were old fashion pumps throughout the children's garden for the kids to pump and play with. Marc and Daddy had fun pumping the water and having water fights......
and getting wet in the hot afternoon sun.
There was a huge maze made from hedges that we had fun wandering through.
Since there was some really pretty scenery, we decided to take advantage of some photo opportunities. Here are the best of the bunch.
This place was absolutely beautiful! We were there on a sunny afternoon so sll the trees with the back drop of the sun was beautiful!
