I can’t believe how fast this summer is going by. We have a list of activities, projects and places to visit this summer and I feel like all of a sudden I am trying to fit everything in to our calendar. We have been spending most of our days at the pool. Ginger has taken up perfecting her flipping, jumping and diving off the diving board.   Last week we did manage family night at the zoo, dime a dog night with The Clippers, a lecture on The Sells Brothers Circus, ( the Sells Circus was based here in Columbus), and a local church festival.  We also spent a good deal of time lounging around with our new haul of books from our most excellent Main Library.

Today I asked what the girls wanted to do and this is what they choose:

    Where is that?!

    Mollie (and Laura)-Hayden Falls is on the south side of Hayden Run just west of Riverside. I think there is a sign that says Griggs something or other and Hayden falls is written underneath in smaller letters. It is a small parking lot and then you walk down a billion steps!! Go after a rain! It is beautiful.

  3. Same here — summer is just RACING by! I’ve barely made a dent in my Summer Adventures list. I’ll just have to cram everything into August :)

    The photos are amazing! Such a pretty spot. I’m going to google it to see where it is and how to get there. I’d love to go. Thanks for the idea!

    Glad you’re having such a splashy fun summer at the pool — sounds like your littlest is quite the waterbaby :)

    Miss seeing you!
