I volunteered to give my Daughter, Kathie, and Daughter in law, Sabine, a break by taking half of my grandchildren to the Morton Arboretum for a day of fun and food.  My daughter, Debbie, graciously volunteered to give me a hand, then Her husband Dan, decided to join in the fun and take this team picture.  Thanks Dan!

We had to take Dan and Sabine's van since our group grew from 5 to 7.	My $80 membership came in handy since it would have cost us more than $50 dollars for admission.
I took a short cut and beat the kids to the Tree house	They finally found their way through the Maze.
Grace was the first one out of the Maze	They quickly took Luke to the Toddler Maze
The kids were amazed that you could get free water from the ground	They all took turns pumping water while Dan filled up his bottle

Grace and Michael help free some lady bugs	Audrey has one on her hand that is ready to fly away

I can do it myself!	See, I did it!
Can you hear me now?	Grandpa said, "Let's go eat"

Audrey helps me record the cloud types	We also measured the rain that was in the rain gauge
