what we DIDN'T find

We spent a few hours combing the field behind the National Air Force Museum on Saturday morning after the Tattoo event (flyovers, fireworks and Aaron Tippin concert) they held on Friday night. And here is what we found...



bracelet
2 ball chains
sunglasses
lighter
Gerber knife
Blackberry
pen
plastic coin
$ .32

Items not pictured...
2 dead field mice
used diaper
AA battery
a pair of flip flops
an abundance of trash located within feet of a trash can, I mean come on folks how lazy can you be their is a trash can right there.

But what we DIDN'T find was the key , that's right we only had one, to our van. So thank you Guinthers for your help and Uncle Mike for rescuing us. And the 2 airmen who had some intelligence in their head and took some time to help us, instead of just standing there with their hands in their pockets, thank you.

One tow and two very expensive keys later we where back to normal.

Later that day we tried to make someones day better than ours and took the blackberry to the local Verizon store. We figured the phone is a total loss but the info on the Sim card and the SD card might be of great value to the owner. The other stuff we are keeping, souvenirs for the kids. If for what ever reason you happen to be reading this and know the where abouts of my keys, don't tell me it would be to painfull to see them now.

happy birthday Forrester!

Forrester turns 1 today. We celebrated the big event 2 days earlier. I don't think he minded. I finally used a cake pan my mom got me back a few years ago. I used a ramekin to make Forrester's cake. I do believed he enjoyed it. Of course he enjoys all food.

Columbus Zoo or bust!....BUST!!!

With Mik only having 2 work free Fridays left we decided to plan a fun filled weekend with the fam. It was to go along the lines of Friday at the zoo (half price admission if you ride the zoo bus in). This was to be followed with camping at Heuston Woods. The kids were so excited. Hadassah was gonna pet the sheepys, ride on a city bus, what more could a kid want from life? I pack us all up, snacks, Nalgenes filled with frozen water, frozen milk in the baby bottle, sunblock. We were ready for a 90deg day at the zoo.

Here we are waiting for the bus.

Turns out we waited on the wrong side of the street. Watched the zoo bus drive right on by us. With 50min to kill before the bus made its round trip back, we tapped into the free wifi at the park and ride. Only to discover it was going to rain most of the morning and would defiantly rain that night at the camp ground. We opted for a climate controlled trip to COSI. And yet we still ended up drenched getting from the car to the door.


We still managed to have a great time at COSI. Jaisen finally got to ride the suspended unicycle (the last time she was too short).

Here are some other pics of the good times...



Below are Michael's thoughts about the Egypt exhibit.


We opted to not camp that night, which was a great choice, but the next morning we got up and went to Heuston Woods for a dip in the lake.

E-I-E-I-O

Went to the farm today with Michael's school class. Their were cows and goats and chickens and sheep and even "a surrey with a fringe on top." My allergies thought they were gonna get the best of me, but I showed them by chugging down some children's clariten this morning. See pics below...ahhh how cute.
