Inniswood Park

There is a beautiful walking trail park that we recently explored. It was a beautiful time of year to visit there because the tulips were in bloom. The kids liked a pond there that had turtles and frogs. in one of the pictures of the water you can see a little frog's head poking out of the water.

Feeding the duckies

Ohio has gorgeous landscaping. It is so pretty and green here. All around our town there are cute, little ponds and they frequently have ducks and other birds in them. We have enjoyed afternoons of walks and feeding the ducks. The kids like to throw the birds a few bites of bread then eat the rest themselves and repeat.

Columbus Zoo

We bought zoo memberships to the Columbus zoo and aquarium. It is a huge, awesome zoo and it is only about a 15 minute drive from our house. The kids have had a blast there so far. Porter hasn't stopped making monkey sounds. He thought they were hilarious. I think it will be a fun year for the kids to learn and see the animals up close. We hope to make frequent visists there.













Hayden Run waterfall





About 5 minutes away from our house is a little waterfall that you can hike to. It is beautiful. The kids loved the waterfalls mist.

mall





I try to take the kids and go find something to do just about everyday. Last week there was a new dip-n-dots that opened in our mall. They gave us yummy samples which we happily enjoyed. But as a bonus they had a clown that did balloon animals and face painting. The kids loved it. We have some really awesome malls if anyone wants to come visit.

A way fun park









We found a really awesome park that is close to our house. It is a dream land for kids. There is a splash pad, toddler play area, sand park with digging tools, forts, water guns, farm animals that spray water out of their mouths into watering troffs, big kids play areas, trains, tractors, duck ponds, walking/biking trails, etc. I think we could spend all summer there. The kids love it.

Easter Egg Hunt







We got into Ohio late night the Friday before Easter. So Saturday morning we had a small Easter egg hunt with a family that also came out here to work The kids had a blast gathering eggs and playing together.
