| The weekend started with a visit from Aunt Carolyn. Very fun to reconnect and hear about Carolyn's travels--and introduce Josh! Sam had a great time playing a fifteen-peg-triangle game which A.C. gave him. Down to just two pegs! :-) |
 |
| Saturday afternoon was spent at the world-famous Columbus Zoo. Here's Kevin at the start of the visit |
 |
| Rochester has a nice zoo, but smaller, and hemmed in by downtown and the mighty Genesee river. So every animal we have is old hat. Amur tigers? Yawn. But the ones we don't have? Cool! Such as this moose. Columbus has a great North American exhibit. |
 |
| We spent a lot of time in the new bear exhibit. The polar bears have a large pool stocked with, I think, trout. At least, they made us hungry the way trout do. Here's Nana pointing out to Sam some of the wildlife. |
 |
| A nice petting zoo too |
 |
| Including pony rides! Sam's on Danny the Pony, who is Sam's age, actually |
 |
| This is a holdover from the Montessori Spring program. Here's Sam hanging with his class. All girls. The bossy second-grade girls are in the middle. They pick on all the first graders. They've been good for Sam; he's learned to take them with a grain of salt. For some reason here I think of him as a young Jimmy Stuart, slouching as he waits for the program to begin. No idea why he brings that to mind |

| A relaxed arctic fox |
 |
| There's an underground portion of the polar-bears aquatic living area--where you can look up through the water to see the other visitors. In this case, Stu, Kevin and Emily, for whom we no doubt looked like we were swimming with the fishes |
