OUR MINI VACATION

We planned a special weekend for the boyz just to get away and spend some time together ~ it was a lot of fun! They did not have a clue as to the suprises in store for them. Needless to say, the hotel was a highlight! lol

After we got dried off from pool time, we headed into downtown Pittsburgh for a Pirate game! They were so excited to see a "real" game!
Walking across the Clemente Bridge to get to PNC Park.... Then our picture taken with Roberto Clemente ......





Jared was really getting into the song and having fun!

Then we were able to catch up with Mr. Pirate and get our picture taken with him (mommy was not going to give up on that photo - op! LOL)....and after 12 innings of play, the Pirates pulled out the win with bases loaded and no outs, a fly ball drops into center field, and one run comes in! We definately got our monies worth out of that one! afterwards, they had a fireworks show....it was very cool.

When we got back to the hotel room, the boyz were hungry~ so daddy and Randy went on a midnight McDonalds run and got everyone a cheeseburger and fries ~ I think we all finally fell asleep around 1am! While they were out, they also got our lunch for the next day......

......which was a trip to Kennywood Amusement Park! We followed the yellow signs through Pittsburgh, to get to our destination!

.....waiting for our first ride the open ~ the exterminator!

:Later that day we got on a ride called Raging Rapids, and boy were they raging! We got SOAKED!

Hey! Its Odie!

Daddy and Jared behind me on a roller coaster....

Mommy and Randy on the humongo swing! It was waay cool!

On the way out we all decided to get "tatoo's" and this is what the boyz picked out....Randy's says "Jesus" in the shape of the fish, and Jared's is a cross....mommy got a butterfly on the ankle and daddy got a dragon on his arm....

The ride home was priceless ~ the heat and being just pure tired they didnt make it out of downtown before they crashed.

It was a great weekend!
