What a weekend of play! 🪵🌿🏰 Families showed up ready to imagine, build, and rebuild at Let’s Play! Fort Building! From cozy rabbit hideouts to fairy homes and picnic-perfect forts, creativity was in full bloom. Overheard this weekend: ✨ “That’s a chance to rebuild!” (when the wall came tumbling down) ✨ “This was the best day ever.” A big shoutout to the moms, dads, grandparents, friends, and inspired fort builders who joined in the fun, and to our incredible volunteers and Chicago Botanic Garden Nature Preschool team who helped keep the magic going all weekend long. And a huge thank you to our amazing partners, Chicago Botanic Garden Nature Preschool, Winnetka Park District, and Backyard Nature Center. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💚 Winnetka Park District Chicago Botanic Garden BackYard Nature Center (fb)
