Today, while reading the Sunday paper, I found one more reason why life in Ohio might not be so bad. We drive through Ohio - Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati often on our way to Kentucky.
I learned today that 50% of the people in America live within 500 miles of Columbus.
We have visited most of the zoos and must admit they are top notch.
This is one we visited in Columbus. Yes, it was at the zoo but it was amazing. Four levels!!!!!
At first Tyler had trouble getting the courage to cross the net tunnels but once
he figured it out there was not stopping him.
There were slides to go down and slides to climb up.
Our last vacation with Tyler lead us to more parks and playgrounds that I though I could visit in one month. I believe that playgrounds are so essential to our children. Of the top five playgrounds in America Columbus was #2 with 140 public play spaces. In fact in the past ten years, more than $2 million in grants, capital investments, sponsorships and private donations have come in through the city's Safe Playgrounds Initiative. And the fact that the city worked together to accomplish this is amazing.
I observed a lot while watching Tyler play. He got exercise yes but he also explored how things work, learned to play with others and sharing, he learned he can do what he sets his mind to and he learned to obey.
And one more reason I like Ohio - their motto -" With God, all things are possible" - amen...
