When I was in Chicago a few months ago, I was able to hang out with my good friend Tricia and her girls, who were the flower girls at my wedding! I love these girls and my how they’ve grown! They are bundles of energy (I’ve babysat them a few times and they always succeeded in wearing me out!), so we decided to hang out at the Chicago Botanic Garden so the kids could have plenty of space to run around and play. It’s a huge park and very well kept..not to mention really pretty! These are my favorite types of parks to shoot in! Tricia’s youngest daughter napped the entire time we were there, so I was only able to take pictures of her other two girls. The girls had lots of fun playing “botanical garden bingo”, where you get to place a sticker on every picture that you find in the botanical gardens. They were so into the game that I couldn’t pry it off their hands, so you see the bingo card in practically every picture. And then when they finally finished their bingo cards, they wanted to play it again haha!
Today is Tricia’s birthday too so happy birthday Tricia!!
These are some intense looks as she’s studying the bingo card.

My favorite image is the bottom left of her running and screaming. Ah so carefree!

Finally completed their bingo cards! They are so happy and proud!
