Photo Shoot at Morton Arboretum!

Today we packed a lunch and some dresses for Gracie and headed up to Morton Arboretum for Gracie's 5 year picture photoshoot. If you haven't heard about my friend Jessica's business, you should check her out. It's called Jessica Jill Photography.  She takes awesome pictures!  Here is a peek of Gracie in action.

Our buddy Jackson was there too to get his 2 year pics done. Isn't he a little stud?

These two were very good and sat in the stroller eating some goldfish.

Gracie was so excited about getting her pictures taken.  Here is one of her dresses she picked out.  I can't believe how big she is getting!  I can't believe she is going to be 5 in a few days!  Where has the time gone?

We walked around the arboretum taking pics in different spots. Isn't this cute?  The photographer and her 2 subjects walking hand in hand.

This tree was beautiful and all the kids had fun touching it and hanging from the low branches.  It was also a great spot to take some pics.

While Gracie was getting more pics taken, we hung out on the rock steps.  They thought it was pretty cool.

After the pictures were over, we went to play in the children's garden, one of our favorite places.

Presley loved climbing on the big rocks.

We also had a fun time wading around in the stream. 

The girls had fun walking on the rocks.

We also got to climb the bridges in the tree fort. 

Presley was such a big boy and went by himself too.

We ate some lunch and then played a little bit more.  You know, just enough to really wear them out.

This fort was a big hit too.

We had so much fun and were exhausted that we came home and took a 3 and a half hour nap!  We slept so hard that we almost missed swim lessons tonight!  We went and came home for baths. Of course after baths, the girls decided to put on some makeup and we had to paint our nails. 

Last time it was blue. This time we did pink and purple.
