Potawatomi Zoo with Grandbabes

Decided to take Lennox and Eli to breakfast at OC Cafe and then to the local zoo this morning. Beautiful morning for it. Our timed entry was at 10 am. We got in the Carousel ride twice and we also rode the train. Lennox was definitely more interested this year and told every animal “hi” and “bye.”  She loved the Carousel. Eli pointed at everything but enjoyed his papa time. We also got to hear the lion roar (which has not happened for me in all the years I’ve visited) and had a close encounter with the goats and a peacock. We ended the morning with a picnic lunch at the neighboring park. A good morning indeed.

Waffle Farms 2020

This year was a little different because of the covid 19 pandemic but we made the best of it. We stayed Thursday to the following Sunday next to my parents and my aunt Carol. Trenton shares the Craig Cottage with Tyler and his family Sunday to Sunday. Tyler actually went back and forth to work Wednesday through Friday but he said it wasn’t too bad. Sooo... forewarning. Many pics to follow for the memories.  This year Duane and Donnetta McClellan and also a few of Chads friends were up the first weekend and the Griesinger’s actually came a couple days during the week.  Brandon and his family along with Ryan came from Saturday to Wednesday and Uncle Rusty and Aunt Julie came for the week. My grandma opted out of coming and my uncle Kenny and Aunt Sharon came down a day. It wasn’t the same but we had a good time.
