Today we had a big and busy day!  We started out going to the temple to take pictures of Zach in his suit (like we do for all the kids when they are baptized).  We had an enjoyable time there and Zach looked so cute in his suit and tie.  🙂

After the temple, we drove over to the Chicago Botanical Gardens where we spent the rest of the day relaxing and viewing beautiful flowers, trees, and landscapes.  We had never been there before as a family (Angela was the only one), and we very much enjoyed it.  At first everyone was not too happy that “mom was going to make us do this,” but when we got there, the mood changed!  🙂

By the time we had walked at least 7-8 miles around the place, we were exhausted and ready to go home and take a load off our feet!  We got some GREAT pictures and had a great time together.  The day couldn’t have been any more perfect!  It wasn’t too hot and the sun was out and shining!  Good last weekend family activity before Sarah leaves to go to school!  Sniff sniff…  🙁
