Sunday at Garfield Park Conservatory

Maddie and I went to the Garfield Park Conservatory Sunday morning! While it was very sunny out, it was extremely cold. We couldn't exactly go to the park so we went to the next best thing! Maddie had a blast at the Garfield Park Conservatory! We missed the children's programming (starts at 12noon on Sunday's) but she had such a good time walking and looking at all the plants and flowers. She was very good about not pulling any plants, she only poked them, until we got to the eucalyptus plant and she pulled a few leaves because they smelled so good.

She loved looking at all the fish!  There were about 4 total ponds that had fish in them. In all we had a great time and need to remember there is such a great, indoor, and FREE, place nearby we can go to whenever we want!

We even ran into a classmate of hers there! I recognized a little boy and wasn't sure if he was in her day care class or one of the park district classes until I heard his mom say his name, then asked if he went to JCYS, and he did! They are in the same classroom!

Only a few pictures below as it was really hard to get her to sit/stand still for a good picture!
