More Columbus

Columbus Day 2 was filled with a lot of different events. Here's the first half of the day-I believe we went swimming in the morning? That was really all the kids wanted to do and then we would take them somewhere and they'd have a great time. The pool was freezing. They admitted this but still wanted to go in. Anyway, we drove to the Ohio State campus in the morning to show the kids the stadium (No, they didn't care. Yes, we knew that before we went.) Owen was in an awful mood but perked up significantly when we played a rousing game of tag in the Jesse Owens Memorial. Normally that might feel disrespectful but actually seemed appropriate.

 Later, we went to the American Girl store to get Paige's doll's hair done. Yes, that's silly, but if we had gotten any hairdresser besides the one we did I would have said it was worth it. Her doll's hair was in need of a little love (not the one pictured below, a different one). Our guy was very nice but a little "new." It didn't matter, Paige thought the store was great, of course, and loved everything about it.

After spending too much time at the doll store (Pat and Owen went to the Lego store to pass some time and Owen came back with 3 new minifigures) we went to Cosi for lunch. This is another food place whose presence is seriously lacking around here! I got this giant salad and everyone else had flat-bread pizza.
