During the weekend we try to get out at least once a day, but that can be challenging during the winter. Now that Jake has mastered walking and is almost running, we've been trying to take him to places where he can get some exercise and explore. A trip to the grocery store is no longer exciting for him... unless it's free sample day at Costco...
We live close to the Oak Park Conservatory so we checked it out last weekend. I wasn't sure if Jake would enjoy it because he doesn't understand yet that you're just supposed to look & not touch the plants, but he really had a fun time!

Jake was able to walk around the first room where the sidewalks are level. The back two rooms have winding sidewalks & some "hills" so we'll explore those next time when his balance is better.
His favorite part was walking through the plastic doorway curtains that separate the climates in each room. He thought it was so funny and was going back & forth so fast that I couldn't snap a picture of him doing it.
I'm happy that he liked it so much and I'm sure we'll be back soon.
