We spent some time with the kids at the Morris Arboretum today. Katie and Todd are members and they regularly visit the gardens. We've been with them over the years and really enjoy it too.
This visit was special because it was Halloween season and they had their annual ArBooretum 17th annual scarecrow walk. So on Sunday we all drove over the the Arboretum with Becky and I squeezed into the back seat that we jokingly refer to as squish the fish. Henry especially loves when we bring that joke up. The regular parking lot was full so we had to park at the lower level and take the shuttle cart up the hill to the main area. The kids liked being in the cart.
There are lots of garden areas and activities for the kids throughout the year but this time was special because of the scarecrow walk which we followed along the path throughout the arboretum. There were dozens of scarecrows throughout the gardens. I took several pictures but really thought that all of the scarecrows could be seen on their website as there was a contest for people to vote for their favorite scarecrow. I thought they would be here at the ArBooretum page. There's lots of info about the event but not a collection of all the scarecrows.
Overall the kids really enjoyed the scarecrow walk.
