We went to the Garfield Park Conservatory today and it was amazing! Labor group friends Jen and baby Ethan and Megan and baby Benton met us there. We loved it so much because it was 100% FREE (unlike the "free" museum days where you have to pay $20 to park and then they only let you in part of the museum), it was close (just 10 minute drive from our condo), and it wasn't that busy or crowded. Highly recommend for babies and young toddlers.

pineapples! Jen and I were amazed that they grew on the ground. For some reason, we both thought that they grew on trees.
it was so great to see COLORS instead of the drab gray outside
little tiny cacti
amazed at the agave plant--it makes the ultimate sacrifice to reproduce
