When we were in Ohio earlier this month, we visited the Columbus Zoo with Brian’s parents. I am glad that we had the opportunity for a little bit of family time and it was a really special experience with the in-laws since it was their first visit to the zoo as well. (It’s funny that when you live somewhere you never really visit the touristy spots until someone comes to visit and you have to play tour guide!) I am extremely thankful that Brian and I have really good relationships with all of our in-laws!

I love these fish! They had a huge tank of them:

One of the rare photos of both of us together:

This has me cracking up! I never really thought about sting rays having mouths…but where else would they eat? This guy was swimming in the manatee tank:

The zoo had a really neat section where you can feed lorikeets and I loved it! Well, except when Brian put one on my head in secret and when another lorikeet bit me when I tried petting it! They are such colorful birds:

And I have to say that I have a new found respect for bats:

And of course the obligatory goofy family photo:

And now I’m off to spend some time with the other in-laws!
