Columbus 2012

We traveled to Columbus OH for Columbus Day this year... The kids did great in the car on the way to Aunt Donna's even though we ended up stuck in Cleveland traffic. On a rainy Friday. At 5 pm. On the day Barack Obama was in town campaigning and most of the high ways had been shut down to facilitate his exit from town.... 
Out at breakfast and Michael picked oatmeal. You could customize it... He was thrilled to have coconut as a choice. He shares that love with his Grandpy Dino. It obviously skips generations. 

We spent the better part of a day at COSI (the science museum). They had a huge travelling display of LEGO castles.

I may have gone shopping. By myself. And I may have purchased myself a little gift. :) I love shopping in Columbus. 

counting....

Liz is learning new words in leaps and bounds... I know the old joke is that the girls talk more than boys. I know its true. Lizzy usually has a pretend phone in her hands whenever possible... She's one smart girly and a cute one too (just like her big brother)
