It's been a memorable couple of days in Ohio. On Tuesday, we went to Columbus Zoo (after voting, of course). It was a lovely fall day. Lots of moms and kids in strollers. The zoo, which is really in Powell, Ohio (much like the San Francisco Airport is in San Bruno or UC Santa Barbara is in Goleta), is nice. The old-style zoo is not in evidence. Right next to the zoo is a big water park, but it's closed at this time of year.
Today we went to Wright State University in Dayton for the semi-finals of the high school girls' volleyball championships for the state of Ohio. Our own Miami East High School (the school district Bob and I are in) was in the Final 4. They played Adena High School from Frankfort, Ohio. Exciting! The Miami East Vikings were victorious, winning 3 games to 1. But they were close games. Adena's team was good, too. At this level, you'd expect that.
This evening, we went outside and saw some snowflakes coming down. Not heavy, certainly ... but our first snow since the very end of March. We called Mom out of her warm sitting room to come out on the porch to see the flakes coming down.

| Cutest little koala. |
 |
| Certainly would have been Ed and Isabella's favorite. Perhaps a distant relative? |
 |
| The polar bears can hardly wait for snow. |
 |
| The 4th game - final score. |
 |
| You gotta love this guy. He's the unofficial cheerleader for Miami East. He shows up in his blue camo, and really gets the crowd on its feet (Miami East colors being blue and white). | |

| Yay, team. The girls go to the championship on Saturday. |
