Morton Arboretum: Our Last TGS Family Day Out
One of the perks of Mommy & Daddy being grad students is Northwestern's TGS Family Day Out--a FREE (paid for by The Graduate School!) outing to a cool, family friendly place with other grad students & their families. Over the past two years, we've attended quite a few from the Botanical Gardens to Navy Pier's Winter Wonderland. This weekend, for our last TGS event we made our first ever trip to the Morton Arboretum in Lisle (45 min. away from Chicago). It started off a little shaky with rain and thunder, but shaped up to be a beautiful day! We spent the afternoon in the Children's garden discovering fairies, catching tadpoles (Mommy, Daddy & Anna's favorite part!) and climbing tree roots. It was a great last "Family Day Out!"

Birthday Beach Baby
It was a perfect, sunny May day for Anna's 3rd birthday party! She had a "space" theme, complete with Jupiter cupcakes! Nana, Pap, Grandma & Grandpa came in from Pittsburgh, and many of Anna, Mommy & Daddy's friends were there to help us celebrate. Mommy & Daddy were too busy enjoying the festivities & time with friends to get in many pictures--whoops, maybe some of their friends have some pictures to share?-- but we all had a lot of fun in the sun! Happy 3rd Birthday AnnaCat!
