Columbus Zoo

I am going a bit out of order, but wanted to post pictures of our trip to the Columbus Zoo several weeks ago. Maggie loves animals and the morning we went, we had to wake her up. We told her we were going to the zoo and she jumped up in bed and started naming animals we would see (though we were both a bit disappointed we didn't see giraffes or zebras).

The penguins were a highlight to the zoo trip.

It was a bit challenging to get a picture of the penguins, Andy & Maggie looking at the camera all at once.

Maggie's uncle Steve, aunt Alyssa & Ian came along with us (along with Grandpa & Grandma Bixler). Maggie also was sporting the bandages during that trip with her blister and cast.

The highlight for Maggie was probably riding the carousel.

Grandma Bixler was able to hold Maggie through the aquariums. She was quite the lug to hold though, I'm sure.

How to get Maggie to smile (or at least look at the camera)? Tell her to have her stickers say cheese at the camera.

And one of our most favorite foods this summer is the ice cream cone. It does tend to melt all over her before it all gets into her mouth.

Wow! Maggie looks just wonderful! Thank you for sharing the special moments with your daughter out of the hospital being a sweet, little girl!

It looks like Baby Bixler is getting closer to joining you all! I hope to see you at Light the Night, but can imagine this might be too much. Maybe Maggie will have to push Mommy in the stroller!

Love,
