Last months adventures

Here are some of the ativities the Fisher family got to do in July.

Unfortunately, the blogger mixed up the order so they aren't all chronological.

This was the ride to be on at the Columbus Zoo. Let me tell you, by the time we were done, Caroline and I wished there was room for us as well.


Jonas liked waving at almost all of the reptiles.


He even gave the Komodo Dragon a chance, but it was a little hard headed.
(It looks real though, doesn't it)?

We spent the night in Columbus to make it seem like a vacation (we were supposed to be celebrating our 5th year anniversary) and the kids were VERY excited about the pool.

Earlier in the month, we watched the hot air balloon festival. Jonas said they go up, up, up.

These are actually taking off, remember non-chronological. (Thanks Blogspot)

This is Lucy getting ready for the 4th of July fireworks. As you can tell, she cannot contain her enthusiasm, nor hide her fatique. Actually, both kids did great and stayed awake the whole show.

Before the big boom booms, there were games to play, or should I say, override.

Note: both kids have already complied with bed time protocol.

You don't really want to be around Jonas when he has a mallet.

Thankfully the camera has a small zoom feature.

One morning in mid July when I was getting ready to mow, I noticed a chipmunk, we'll call him Alvin, desperately making laps in the kids wading pool. I put a little piece of landscaping fence in and he climbed right on it, thankful I'm sure for the escape route. He was shivering a lot so I covered him up with the nearest thing we have to a thermal blanket and gave him some peanut butter to eat.

After drying and warming up for quite some time, he ran off I guess because the next time I checked on him, he was gone. The kids sure liked seeing him though and got a kick out of the little shivering chipmunk.

More Alvin

We have had a great time enjoying as much warm weather as we can so far. We know that the winter will be cold, so we are trying to do what we can while we can.

Thanks for all the prayers and support,

Ben, Caroline, Jonas, and Lucy
