Columbus Months

mothers day and anniversary
The months of April and May were full of us driving to Columbus.  Nate was there doing a two month pediatric urology rotation.  We bought a season pass to the zoo and our pass from the clay center got us into the COSI for free.  The boys loved the zoo.  Beaus favorite was the elephant and the rhinoceros and Micah loved the reptile house.  They both loved to limb on all the statues.

The zoo has a lot of petting opportunities.

We also got to watch them feed two baby tigers (yes, they are only a few months old).

 We tried to keep them awake long enough to get dinner at Raising Canes, not always successful.

Highlights for Nathan and I were watching the polar bears and grizzly bears swim, the animal show, hearing the elephants trumpet and the gibbons doing their morning call.  The Columbus zoo has so many fun things to see and do.  We had such a fun time there.

Our other frequent stop was the COSI (Center of Science and Industry).  They loved the water toys, balls, outer space, puppets, blocks, the bugs (they held a hissing cockroach and a millipede).  There is lots of fun to be had at the COSI.  We didn't even venture into most of it.

Poor Micah- The cut on his forehead is from falling off the manatee statue, the day before, at the zoo.  The cut in his hair is from falling, face first, into a giant fountain at the COSI.  Not only was he bleeding, A LOT, he was soaked from head to toe. 

Other highlights included walking around downtown Columbus, seeing my brother in Cleveland and going to see the sights in Kirtland.

We also "celebrated" our 7th year anniversary and mothers day.

Having Nathan gone wasn't awesome, but we tried to make the most of it.  I'm so grateful that he is home now.  He is a huge help and lots of fun to have around.
