Exploring Colombus

When we first found out that we were for sure moving to Colombus there were a few people in our ward who had lived there before and they told us we would love it. They were right! We are having a great time. I can't believe all the fun things that there are to do. This picture was taken at a park with fountains that squirt up and waterfalls. The ladies in the ward call it the Bunny fountain park because there are huge bunny statue's on top of this hill that the water park is by. It is free you just come with your toys and swimming suit and play.

We got zoo passes and we have gone a few times now. They really have a wonderful zoo here. The kangaroo's were especially fun to watch this particular day.

Lots of statues all over the zoo to climb on. And of course we had to stop and climb on all of them!

So much for looking at animals. Once the kids discovered this amazing playground it was hard to get them excited about anything else. Oh well it's great exercise for them and Chris and I just need to remember to bring a book.

Here is a picture of only half of what is there. It is quite the playground.
This little clip was taken at Fancyburg park in Upper Arlington. We went with our good friends from Hershey who also moved to Colombus for residency. It has been so fun having them here. It was a really nice park with an awesome playground. This clip doesn't really show it but I thought it was cute of mykids interacting. In this clip Steven says he is going to a music festival. We went to a jazz and blues music festival the night before with some new friends and had a great time dancing to the music with helium balloons. So that is what inspired his imaginative play.

Here is a video clip of the kids playing at the bunny fountain park. I'm not sure what the real name of the park is. I am sure we will be making lots of visits to this park this summer. We are having so much fun exploring and we also are having fun making new friends. Everyone here has been so friendly to us. We have been invited to lots of things and we feel very welcomed. There are so many young families like us in this ward and someone is always planning something. So if I get bored or lonely here it is my own falt!
