Summer Fun.  We’ve been having lots of that lately and it’s been nice. Finn and I left one Friday afternoon to go to Goldfish for the open swim (where he has lessons), but realized on our way there that they aren’t open on Friday’s at lunch, but rather in the evening. Uh oh. I called a couple of local pools to see if they did day passes and they don’t. So I said, what the heck, we’re going to Zoombeezi Bay! We had “so much fun!”. We spent most of our time in the kid play pool that has several slides which he’s big enough to walk up and slide down by himself. We took a spin through the lazy river and also spent a bit of time in Baboon Lagoon where we got dumped on by a HUGE bucked of water from high above. I left my phone and all of our things in a locker and we just wondered around – so not really any photos, but lots of fun!

Earlier in the week we had more water fun at the Dublin Bunny Park Splash Pad. First we went to the Peach Truck and picked up a large box of Georgia Peaches, yum! It was a fun afternoon with cousins 🙂

We also ventured “down town, big city” this week to a free kids event with friends at Bicentennial Park and the Scioto Mile.  It was themed Barnyard Palooza and Finn really enjoyed petting the farm animals, including a duck and chicken. There were also sheep, goats, and a turkey! We ended the afternoon at the Fountains and a nice lunch at Milestone 229. Yum.
Kevin and I headed to the CD102.5 SummerFest concert at the LC Pavilion on Thursday evening. It was a beautiful night to hang outdoors and listen to several artists including Matt and Kim, and CAKE. The same evening Finn enjoyed a kid’s concert in Hilliard with Debbie and he had a great time! We’ve lived in Ohio for upwards of 20 years and haven’t ever visited the Olentangy Indian Caverns. We were out running some errands and on a whim decided to stop and check it out. While we waited for our tour Finn played on the play set and spent some time with some baby deer the caverns have adopted (through a breeder). They are all females and have names. They come right up to you and will lick the salt right off your skin. Finn thought they were so fun. He really loves animals. We spent an evening at Jaime and Aaron’s house one night and the kiddos played like crazy. I only have one blurry phone pic where the kids where jumping off the ottoman and onto the couch. They were proud and happy!

We made another blueberry pie this week and one day Debbie told me Finn insisted on having it for his snack day after we made it. I really wasn’t surprised as he’s usually heading to bed when it’s cooling off.  Sure looks like he enjoyed it!

And here is a cute one of Debbie and Finn at the zoo.  He’s been having such a fun summer!
