We spent today at the Lake View Nature Center in Oak Brook Terrace. Philip had a field trip there, so I grabbed some literature and found out they are open to the public, for free, and they have animals. Kids love animals. I love free. Open to the public is obligatory or we couldn't go.
Philip and I took some pictures of our day.

Like his heart when discovering, broken.

I wonder if he was trying to get the distorted glasses seen through a bowling ball sized ashtray.

The current exhibit at the Nature Center is Sand. Sand, and the animals that live in it. Obviously, that includes these feral, suburban youths. There were a bunch of insect toys in the sand, and every once in a while a child would unearth one and surprise themselves. A few mad dashes out of the sandbox in terror at a millipede.
We were met there by our friend, Ava.
Sand everywhere!
