The family took a trip to the Columbus Zoo recently - I thought you might enjoy visiting with us...Misha's mom and dad have a membership there, and can bring guests along. They all go quite often and Misha absolutely loves the place!!
Misha seemed especially fascinated with the reptiles.

Columbus is where our son graduated - hence the "BUCKEYE" shirt and lots of red. Here, we are in an aviary with Lorakeets (Lorikeets). googled this and found both spellings, so am not sure if they are the same or which birds we visited. Does someone here know for sure?
We spent lots of time in here - marveling at these brightly covered birds. Son Bryan had a cup of nectar in one hand, and Misha in the other arm. One of the birds landed right on her head!! She just giggled and continued to smile through her day.

I also enjoyed this part of our trip and what fun to feed these gorgeous birds and have them landing all over me.

Aren't they the prettiest animals?

Here is her Mimi (Chris's mom) feeding them.

The day was filled with fun - and some nice snuggles, too. I like to give Misha "eskimo" kisses - here, I asked her if she would give one to Pawpaw.

Daughter-in-love Chris took Misha on her first pony ride. I wondered if she would like this but look at her! She kept a huge smile on her face the whole time and sat so tall and still..
