Keepin Emma Entertained!

So we have noticed since being back in Ohio that Emma is sure a social butterfly. We think she did so well in Utah because she had so much to look at and do. She loves seeing and being with new people. We have been trying to keep her more "entertained" lately so that she is not just stuck at home being bored. It is nice because it gets us out and going as well. This past week, as Mike mentioned in the last post, we were able to go to the zoo as well as the Metro Park. The Metro Parks are these really nice state parks were they have walking and hiking trails, ponds and rivers for fishing, playgrounds, picnic sites, etc. They are really nice and well maintained. Anyway we have been meaning to go forever but have never gotten around to it. We went for the afternoon and had a picnic and went for a walk. It has been nice being able to spend so much time with Mike this summer. Once his research starts up again we won't be so lucky so we have to get our time in while we can.:)
We had a really nice day at the zoo as well. Emma did pretty well. It's always fun to see all of the animals and just take a nice day to be together as a family. We decided to get a season pass. You may wonder why we got a season pass when we are hoping to be moving in December. We decided it would be worth it to get Emma and "Mom" out of the house for awhile and when you get a pass to the Columbus Zoo you are able to get free or discounted tickets to most of the zoo's across the U.S. We decided that once we move we would hopefully still be able to use it in that way as well. So hopefully we'll get our moneys worth.
