Storm Story


I have not been very adventurous since moving to Ohio! It is not easy learning a new city with a 3 month old and a 3 year old! I have a very limited sense of direction so getting lost is always a real possibility when ever I leave The house! Dad came to help me with learning some areas and finding some new places in a new city! It is so reassuring to navigate with another adult! We left for our adventure and the sky looked a little cloudy but we figured a little rain would be ok! As we start driving further into town the sky turned dark grey, then navy, then BLACK! Here is the sky in the early stages of he storm!

We noticed it was getting very windy then the storm hit! We had no idea at the time but we were in a severe thunderstorm with 82 mile per hour winds! Great time to finally get out and go exploring! There were flying boxes, lawn furniture, grills, even huge trampolines being tossed around! We were so thankful to not be hurt! There were down trees everywhere and most of the city is without power!
We are very lucky to have power and air conditioning! Hoping this is the biggest adventure for a while!

The Zoo

We went to the Columbus Zoo this weekend and had an amazing time! We had heard how amazing the zoo was but it exceeded our high expectations!

Kaitlin had the best time and we can't wait to go back! We happened to be in the area during a meet the zookeeper time at the gorillas! Kaitlin was so attentive and did not want to miss anything!

Then she found a stick and decided to show the gorillas and the audience! The zoo was huge as big as some theme parks and we were there a long time and did not get to see all the animals!





Of course we had to get our picture made with Jack Hannah!
 

Sweet Colin was great the entire time and never fussed or cried all day! I see many more zoo days in our future!
