Holiday Fun at Grandpa and Grandma Stickel's - Another Long Overdue Posting

So much has happened since the last posting.....For the last half of our X-Mas holiday we traveled down to Columbus Ohio to see Grandpa and Grandma Stickel. Much to the girls pleasure - a pink corvette was parked for them in the garage!! They jumped in and zoomed off for 5 wonderful days of fun!



The girls revved it up and took us all down to the Columbus Zoo to see the Holiday lights (3 million lights - very impressive). Our outing was just after the Tiger escaped the San Diego Zoo, so we steered clear of the lions and tigers and bears, oh my.




Paige developed quite a relationship with the penguin. All the penguins were nesting, so they were not out on the deck. One walked by the window and Paige called to it, "Come Here Penguin!!". It promptly waddled out to her and looked her right in the eye. After that she declared that she "loves penguins".


The other MAJOR hit was the aquarium. It was beautiful, captivating, amazing, and most of all - warm.
