The Last Days of Summer

We had a gorgeous weekend a few weeks ago, with record highs for October. We took advantage of the weather to do some outdoor activities. Saturday, we went to the zoo. Isabel loved the train ride and the petting zoo. The Columbus Zoo is really great; big (and they're planning on expanding further), tons of exotic animals, even a park for when the little ones get tired of animal-watching.

Now we know what goat poop looks like!
Sunday, we went south of Columbus to the Circle S Farm. This is a working farm that opens up in the fall for people to go pick pumpkins, get lost in corn and sunflower mazes, and enjoy hay rides. We must've looked like such city slicker yuppies with our camera, video camera, snacks, sippy cups, diaper bag... I didn't hear the farm hands laughing too hard.
