Sunday we took advantage of the beautiful day and went to see the Treehouse exhibit at Tyler Arboretum. Most were not traditional treehouses, but more artsy interpretations. The grounds are gorgeous and the trails were so nicely kept (easy for walking).Above the kids posed on the tree frog exhibit (the tree above had bunches of frogs hanging from it, and there were about 5 frogs with different paintjobs underneath.
This sculpture was near one of the treehouses, which was actually a house for the tree, to aid in the wildlife that make it's home there.
We veered off the treehouse trail for a bit to take a look at a Lenape exhibit - and pose for a picture.
Poor Tim wasn't feeling well (fighting a cold) but insisted on carrying Kendyl.
We were quite entertained by the pond as there were tons of fish to watch, and most entertaining were 2 turtles on a log. A third turtle tried to join them, but rolled the log over, tipping the 2 turrles off, and getting the log for himself! One turtle then swam over to us and was quite friendly.
This treehouse was a bunch of hammocks in the trees (up above, and ones you could sit on). Andrew enjoyed his hammock ride!
Here we are at the top of Scared Silly - it was shaped as a pink elephant, and quite high!
This one was made with bells. Pulling the strings made music.
Today they had tree climbers that let the kids try a hand at climbing. Andrew picked up the technique quickly, and was at the top ringing the bell in no time.
Here is Steven concentrating on his way to the top. He made it with no help!!! Rang the bell, then posed for a picture - so proud.
Then we headed home (after stopping for ice cream of course).
