Chicago Botanic Gardens Again

Our weather has been in the 60s, and occasionally low 70s. We took my friend Crystal to the Botanic Gardens to enjoy the weather (while it lasts) and beautiful gardens again. We saw completely different areas and gardens than last time, but of course we did not make it through the whole 385 acres.
Dayton running down a "tunnel"
Daphne, Dayton, and Mommy by a waterfall
This looked like a tree from a Dr. Seuss book
An interesting/pretty flower
We went inside the Greenhouse Gardens this time;
it was hot and muggy inside, but we saw neat plants
This plant had a murky water reservoirSome plants in the Greenhouses were shaped like animals;
Daphne and Dayton standing in front of two swans
Dayton by a spotted dinosaur
Not a tomato plant; I can't remember what
this plant was, but it sure looked like tomatoes
The garden staff was setting up a pumpkins/gourds display;
Oh how I love fall!
Daphne and Dayton
Pretty fountains are around every corner

I will definitely have to go there next time. You should go there with everyone for your next Christmas picture.
