Our Great Adventure-Day 8

This morning we got up, ate breakfast, and headed to the Columbus Zoo. We found out that morning that the sweet Mr. Graham Powell had arranged (through his brother, John) to have tickets for us. It was a great way to start off the day. The zoo was enormous! We saw elephants(at a really close distance), rhinos, koalas, kangaroos, manatees and that is only to name a few. We were really impressed the zoo. They also had rides which everybody got to pick two. Garrett and I tried the whirly-gigs, but they went too fast for the little guy and since we were the only ones on the ride, the guy running it stopped it for us. Riley and Jensen rode the frog hopper and were disappointed. We all rode the bumper cars and it was our favorite ride! We then decided to start out for Indiana because the kids were anxious to see their cousins and Nana. It was about a two hour trip and we were pulling into the Vowell's driveway. The kids got to play with Emma, Luke, and Ben. After Ben and Luke left for their meeting (in their GI Joe outfits), Aunt Jane and Emma went out to dinner with us. After dinner we made our way to Nana's. We all enjoyed catching up with Nana.
