Columbus Zoo - 166/365

Today we were going to spend the day at the Columbus Zoo. None of us had been there before, so we were excited to check it out. It was only 10 minutes from our hotel, so it was perfect.

Before we went over we stopped over at Bob Evans for a little breakfast! YUM!

When we got to the zoo, we realized it was HUGE! We were excited to explore!

One of our first stops was the little farm where you could pet and brush the goats. Reagan was so excited and made quick friends with a little beige one. They sat together for the longest time. We were even able to get a selfie with him!

Next we went over to a place where you could "pan for gold." It was really gemstones you were looking for, but it was great! Reagan got a lot of wonderful stones. She was excited.

After that we got a few "Polar Beers" and Reagan an Icee. She ate that thing ALL DAY! Once most of it melted, she refused to use a straw to drink the juice. She had to use the spoon. We were proud because she got very little red juice on  her white shirt. Seriously she ate it ALL DAY!

One of the other highlights was a camel ride. Reagan was really nervous about it, but once she got on, she LOVED it! Her and Nana had a blast.

The zoo even had a little boat ride that went past some of the exhibits and was full of pirates. Some of which even spit on you! LOL!

It was a really fun day! We hope to get back there soon!

Garden Adventure, Goo Goo Dolls - 158/365

Today, Jim, Reagan and I started our day at Fellows Riverside Garden. 

They were hosting a Garden Adventure event with an Alice in Wonderland theme. It was a pretty cute event. The kids were able to release lady bugs and meet all the characters from Alice In Wonderland. Reagan was having a ball. 

They also had craft stations throughout the garden. They made a Mad Hatter hat out of a brown paper bag, a pop top pin, a maraca, garden name steaks, and a yarn butterfly out of Popsicle sticks. She had a blast! 

 They had little snacks for the kids as well. They made little teacups out of ice cream cones, used a round gummy cut in half for the handle and put grapes inside. It was adorable! They all loved it! It was a great event and we were glad we went. 

This evening, Nana and I were meeting Raymond and Jennifer down at PNC Park for the Pirates game/Goo Goo Dolls concert! Technically called Fan Jam!

Nana and I went to have dinner at Steamers first before we hit the turnpike! We got our favorite appetizer, too, the crab dip bread bowl. To die for! 

We got to Pittsburgh without any problems and even found parking, too! We never go down there without getting lost. It was a major victory! 

The baseball game was good, I think they even won. I do more talking and people watching than I do watching the baseball part. I still enjoy going though! The Goo Goo Dolls came out right after the game. It was so funny to see them just wheel their stage out on these carts. They had it all set up in less than 15 minutes! Amazing! They played for about an hour and did all our favorites. We were happy! It was a fun night out with the Britts! Shoup came down to our seats for a visit. We took a selfie and had the best photobomber ever. She was great! 

 Jim and Reagan had a fun night hanging around the house. They went down to feed "her" fish in the pond at the end of the street and they also took Brinkley for a walk around the 

 neighborhood!
