Summer 2021: Kyle Visits/Columbian Park

When you think about it, it is amazing how many generations of my family have enjoyed visiting Columbian Park. 


From my Honeywell grandparents to my parents and my siblings,


and then my children and grands,

 
that's five generations of our family who have come to this park.


The zoo is a really nice part of the park.


Addie makes friends with a Wallaby joey.


The zoo had a new penguin exhibit, one that took several years to plan and implement. The penguins would swim up to look at us, and several were fascinated by Kyle's shoes!


A family photo op by the penguins.


My favorite zoo animal, the Galapagos tortoise who was older than me, had been moved to another home due to her age. But there is a statue in her memory.

Outside the butterfly house is a garden with gigantic insect sculptures for kids to play around.


My favorite? The monarch caterpillar.


Braden and Lukie share the ladybug sculpture.


A train ride around Columbian Park is always a must.

More family fun to come. Stay 'tooned!
