Happy New Year
from
Ohio!

Before we headed off to see the lights at the zoo we stopped at Culver's for dinner. They are famous for their butter burgers and their onion rings are tasty too.

Paige and Megan hopped up on the polar bear sculpture to take a hot cocoa break. This Spring we will have a brand new polar bear exhibit at the zoo. If anyone wants to come out to see it we would be happy to have you stay with us.

The lights are all LED's so they use a lot less power to run, but they are still spectacular to walk beneath.


Would you believe that Mike had his tongue stuck out at the camera too, but some how he managed to pull it together before the camera captured the moment.

I snapped this cute shot of Paige and Megan in front of the Manatee tank. Holly and Stubby are staying at the Columbus zoo and aquarium in part of a rescue and recovery program. We are pretty lucky to get to enjoy these special creatures while they rest and relax at our zoo.

As the folks from Monty Python would say..."It's only a flesh wound".
It only sounds right if said with a British accent of course.

The picture above was taken around 2 p.m. (1/1/10)

My New Year's gift...I donated blood after work on the 31st. By the size of the bruise you would think they used a jackhammer to get that pint of O- out of me. Nope it was just a very sharp needle, they kinda sliced my vain and I got a whopper of a bruise from it. I will also get a $25.00 gift card to Panera since Anderson's was holding a drawing for two of them for any employees that donated. Me and Greg were the only ones to donate so we each get a gift card...oh and we get to help save lives so I think that's worth a little flesh wound.

I just took this one at 10:15 p.m. it's looking more colorful as the day wears on.
