Emma's 33rd Bday

I was blessed to spend my whole birthday with my awesome husband and my sweet son!
Tim took me to breakfast and then a surprise bday adventure to Chicago Botanical Gardens. What a treat! I have wanted to go for years.

My two children, I couldn't be more thankful!

We enjoyed teaching and showing Liam all the vegetables and fruits on the "Garden Island."

We saw a real bee hive and these are some examples of bee hives you can make.

Liam LOVED all the unique squash. He kept calling the large light green one, "a big pear."

There weren't too many flowers being late August...but the trails and foliage were still an art form

My boys!

Liam loves throwing leaves in water

Family photo by the refreshing water. Wow...it was 85 degrees that day. Too hot for this mama!

We had to pull Liam away from the fountains.

Thanks to my family and friends who made this year another great one. Love you guys!
