Solo Cups and Shakers


Just when Dad thought we may be getting in a bit of a rut, Pittsburgh picked us up and provided another fun filled week.  It was a little warmer  this week so the boys and I explored every square inch of the tiny apartment.  Its a good thing we all have such big imaginations.  First, we took a trip back to the spray park.  Brenden was a little more reluctant this time, but Jackson was the exact opposite.  He was right up there with the big kids, face first in the sprinklers.


We also had a few rainy days this week.  In fact, Dad got caught in a downpour on his morning run with Brenden and Jackson.  The radar looked clear when we left, but these storms just seem to pop up this time of year.  As a result, we enjoyed plenty of quality time in our humble abowed.  When regular old baby toys failed to do the job, we let our imaginations run wild.  While the average person may look at an empty paper towel roll and think, "What's the big deal," Brenden and Jackson pretend its a sword or a telescope or just use it to make awesome cow noises.  The same goes for red solo cups, water bottles, cereal boxes, and milk jugs.  We have been known to even pretend that a bookshelf is a jungle gym.

Shake it
Showin off

Friday, Dad went out for a jog with the boys and noticed tents going up outside next to Pitt's campus.  After doing a little research, he found out there was a children's festival going on later that day.   That afternoon, the boys all headed up to Schenley Plaza for a little fun in the sun.  We spent most of our time at the music tent.  They had a spread of ukuleles and the boys made noisemakers.  We spent the rest of our time watching the fire dancers and doing a little dancing of our own to the anti-bully band.  It was a really fun afternoon!

Food over fire dancers any day of the week
