Pittsburgh

We spent 4 days in Pittsburgh, PA visiting my mom's side of the family.  31 people got together to have fun and make memories.  I was really excited because it was an opportunity for my kids to play with my cousin's kids (like we did growing up).  We went to the park which had a creek that everyone loved exploring.  We took a trip to the zoo and saw lots of animals, including the dancing polar bear, which we watched and laughed at for a while.  The kids enjoyed dip n dots for a snack and the boys loved it!  Papa sprayed the kids with a water hose and I'm not sure who had more fun doing that, him or the kids.  They laughed as they ran past him trying to escape the spraying water.  Lina and Mark hung out in the kiddie pool and were so sweet together.  They were buddies the whole time.  We took a river boat cruise on our own private boat.  It had 2 levels, a dance floor, a bar (fully stocked) and lots of great lunch food.  The captain let the kids drive the boat and AJ was very excited to do so.  He changed what he wants to be when he grows up now to a boat captain.  He even asked the captain how much he makes.  It was a lot of fun for everybody.  Papa had the kids put on a performance for us with comedy, dancing and a few football stars.  It was a great trip and one that I'm sure we'll never forget.
