Slate Run Metro Park

Posted by columbusdad on April 27, 2009

Today we took off and went to Slate Run Metro Park to celebrate Heath’s birthday. Grandpa and Grandma came up from West Virginia and met us at the park.

We had a blast. The park is great and has a number of playareas that the boys loved. We also saw a bunch of wildlife that the kids were facinated by. I missed the coolest picture of a couple turtles sunning themselves on a log. They dived into a pond before I could get a shop.
