Columbus Zoo

Tyler trying to figure out how to get us to the Train Station. Tyler thinking we are on the right track to the station!

Found the station, but no train today! Polar Bears playing ball.

Today was a cool day (high of 72 degrees), so I thought it would be a great day for Tyler and I to go to the Columbus Zoo. I was not the only person who thought that! If we still lived in Florida, I would have thought we were at Disney by the crowd! It was so crowded you had to wait your turn to see animals, and the walkways were so crowded you had to take baby steps! It was not at all enjoyable for us!

Tyler was very impatient when it came to walking around with all the people. But when we finally got up to any animal he just worked his way up to the front then SCREAMED "Grandma where are you"! People let me go up front with him . . . . . . so it worked, but it was also embarrassing for me!

Tyler was our Tour Guide. He is into giving me directions where ever we go, and since we had a map, he was constantly reading it. It was very entertaining just listening to him tell me how to get where he wanted to go. His main goal was to get us to the Train Station for a ride around the Zoo. It took us a few hours to get to the Train Station (by his directions) and once there we found out it was broken down. Tyler was not at all a Happy Zoo Goer!

The Polar Bear exhibit is new to the Columbus Zoo. It was absolutely wonderful. Once Tyler got us up front (by his method) we had a great view of the polar bears playing. We stood for over an hour and watched them. They played in the water directly in front of Tyler. He laughed and yelled every time the bears would throw the ball at the glass in front of him. He also yelled when one of the bears "pooped" in the water!

We had a fun day even though it was super crowded! Tyler had a good nap on the way home!
