Columbus Zoo & Camping

Last weekend we decided to stop at the Columbus Zoo since we were already passing through the area on our way to go camping. I have been wanting to go all summer long, but since I was gone about 3 months, it never happened. If we end up moving in April, which looks likely, I would have been so sad if we didn't hit up the zoo. We were there on a Friday morning and had the zoo practically to ourselves. The weather was crisp, but enjoyable and most dads were working, therefore families weren't at the zoo. Adeline LOVED it!








After the zoo, we headed up to where we met a big group of people to go camping. It was chilly, but a lot of fun! Adeline has been asking for weeks to go camping, so she finally got her wish. I was a little worried because I didn't bring a potty to go camping. Luckily once I showed Adeline how to go to the potty when we are camping, she loved it. Abe even found her with her pants down, squatting and going to the bathroom by herself right next to the tent. She had no problems going #1 or #2. In fact, another family had a camper and Adeline refused to go in that potty because she wanted to go outside. When we got home from our trip, she kept telling me "I want to go potty on the grass".... uh, No.

Sounds like fun! Adeline just cracks me up...I love that she wants to go to the bathroom in the grass, what a crack-up. And I'm glad to read that nothing came of those contractions...scary - start taking it easy!

We LOVE this zoo. We have been like 5 times already. Isn't like the Disneyland of zoos?

Your pics are amazing as usual. I especially love the one with the gorilla. So sweet.
