Thursday, October 18 Evelyn visits the Columbus Zoo

Who says polar bears can't climb trees??

Sara, Matt and Evelyn returned home on Tuesday.  They were delayed about an hour getting out of Honolulu because their plane from Guam came in late.  Then when they got to Chicago they learned that their connecting flight to Cincinnati had been cancelled but they eventually arrived in Cincy around 1:30 pm.  Yesterday, I went down and picked them up so are staying with us for a few days before they head back down to Cincy to start looking for a place to stay.  Today we decided to head up to the zoo since, weather wise, it looked like today might be the best for the rest of the week.  It was a little cool early, but it soon warmed up and turned out to be a very pretty day.  We visited the Sting Ray exhibit where Matt and I fed the rays.  We managed to cover the east half of the zoo and decided to do the other side next time we go. It is nice to be able to say "next time" and know that we won't have to wait 6-12 months for that to happen.

Evie's first visit to the #1 zoo in the country!

Having s'mores at home after the zoo.

Grandma, I think you forgot the chocolate and marshmallow on this s'more?!
