We love the Columbus Zoo!

Lexi and Nash at the petting zoo. You can feed some of the animals here.

They do love those peguins.

We became members at the Columbus Zoo within a week of moving here and have really put that membership to good use. I think we've been to the zoo 7 times in the three months we've lived here. It's about 10 minutes from our house and the kids love to go, even if we only go for a couple of hours. That's the best part of being members and living so close; if someone has a meltdown (usually Mom) we can just head home and not feel like we've wasted any time or money. The kids love the elephants, rhinoceros, and kangaroos. Their other favorites are the tigers, lions and peguins. If you ever come to visit, we'd love to show you around!

First Days of School

Lexi at her first kindergarten story time.
Lexi rode the bus home the first day and loved it!
Kyle came home early so he could see her come home.

Nash is such a big boy now that he goes to preschool!!!

The kids are both in school and loving it! Lexi is in kindergarten and is in Mrs. Oehler's class at Indian Springs Elementary School. She is already learning so much. This morning, I was talking to Nash about stop signs and she proudly informed me that "a stop sign is an octagon, Mama!" My little girl is growing up! Nash is in preschool at our gym, LifeTime Fitness. He really loves his teacher, Miss Lindsey. Both kids go on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays so I have a little free time to work out or grocery shop. It's nice since we don't know any sitters yet, but we're working on it. Life is good!
