It's Snowing Styrofoam!

This morning Jessica amused herself by picking apart a Styrofoam block and throwing the fragments into the air to make snow. Yes, it did require quite a bit of cleanup afterwards, but she really enjoyed herself, so it was worth it.

Sandy Fingers

On our second and last day in Columbus, we went to Columbus State University's Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center--which turned out to be a bust because their trails were all closed due to the recent flooding, and, because they were preparing to move to a new building, all of the animals (except for one snake) were off exhibit.

But they did have a sandy and rocky area just outside of their education building, and that was all Jessica needed to have half an hour of fun--digging in the sand, tossing it up and getting it in her hair (two days later it's not all out), and drawing in it with various sticks.

Here she took a brief pause from her activities to show Daddy her dirty sand-holding hands:

Columbus
