Learning to Walk

This video is from when Sammy was learning to walk. He got ahold of the clothes basket and did this for about 10-15minutes.

Pittsburgh ZOo & PPG Aquarium

Sorry, I got distracted and forgot to finish blogging about our PA vacation. We went to the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium

"What's a tiger say?"

"ROAR"

Hi Mom!

Now, it's Mommy's turn! Yes, Jennifer, that is Noelle! :D

What's a llama say?

You'll have to ask Sammy the next time you see him -- he does a GREAT llama sound!

Petting a sheep

Three Monkeys! :D

Silly Boy

Sammy fell asleep in the car on our way home from the children's museum.

Silly boy with his shirt on his head!

Children's Museum

After lunch Uncle Bob and Aunt Jani headed back to their house. Gramcracker, Jeff, Noelle, and Sammy all headed to the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. We had a lot of fun there!

The first thing in the Children's Museum was Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Here we are in the castle.

Then in X's tree

Then, we went up to the 2nd floor to the Nursery. This was an area full of toys for little ones. Sammy had a lot of fun here.

Rocking on the rocking horse.

Playing with the piano

Playing with the BIG lite brite

Daddy teaching him how to take the pegs out and put them back in

Mommy got creative, but ran out of room for Sammy!

We then went up to the third floor -- the Water Play area. They had little raincoats for the kids. Silly mommy forgot to button it up, so we still had to change his clothes!

After we changed his clothes we went back to the second floor and he had tons of fun playing with blocks.

He loved this ball display

Just before we left we checked out the things on the first floor. They had a funhouse area with a big slide. Mommy and Daddy both tried the slide out!

Station Square

After riding the incline, we headed to Station Square at ate at Joe's Crab Shack.

After lunch, we went out to watch the fountains. Everytime we got to the fountains they were not doing anything too exciting. Oh well! :)

Downtown Pittsburgh

On Wednesday, we went to Downtown Pittsburgh to ride the incline. That's one of my favorite memories of Pittsburgh. For some reason, my pictures are overly bright.

The Duquesne Incline

A deer under the incline. We thought this was strange, and then a regular rider on the incline informed us that they have salt licks under the inclines for the deer.

Daddy and Sammy watching the wheels that make the incline work!
