This morning we headed to Allerton. It was tremendous. Since Brian has worked there, we really haven't been able to enjoy the place like everyone should because he would walk around and see things that needed to be done instead of the beauty of the place. Today we went and simply enjoyed. It was precious time for our family and also pretty special to get to enjoy Allerton, a truly magical place!
Stunning gardens and long spaces for the kids to run- priceless
THere are these amazing passageways INSIDE the 12 foot hedges that line the paths. We took the inside of the hedges instead of the path-way cooler!
A walk in the mazes
A family picture before the sunken gardens
Amara got up close a personal with a fish!
Always bring a ball with you for moments just like this!
"Look at me!" She yelled!
My love! We are praying that we are over the hump of his illness and I can have my husband back again
We took a very long hike
A daddy and his son- nothing sweeter
Brian showed the kids the creek that feeds into the Sangamon River
We took a snack break at the Snytar while Bri gave us all a history lesson on the Greek Mythology
The kids did NOT walk the whole way- thank God for shoulders
And sweet breaks in Daddy's arms
The kids walked hand in hand with us most of the way. We stopped to listen and to look at things, we talked alot about God's gifts he gave us and all the things he made. We chatted about history and Robert Allerton, we just walked.
In the meadow right before we headed home.
What an absolutely perfect morning! Thank God for Saturdays like this will my wonderful family!
