Lauren and mommy (and most of the rest of Chicagoland!) went to the Morton Arboretum today to celebrate Arbor Day (free admission) and also celebrate the first 80 deg. temperatures. Lauren loved the activities in the kid zone. We spent at least 3 hours there and didn't go anywhere in the rest of the park. She could have played in the Adventure Woods stream all day. I think it was even worth fighting the traffic and crowds. I'm seriously considering getting a membership this year even though the Arboretum is in Lisle, IL - a good 1 hr drive give or take depending on traffic. I loved that Lauren left her hat on all day - it was a gift from Grandma Saundra last year as is really going to get a lot of use this summer. Here are some pics and videos...

She's a great climber!
