Who Knew?

Typically malls are all about shopping, but at one of our malls...it's all about rides.  The kids road the train all around the mall.

 Then the merry go round, not just once...

 but twice!

Then let's not forget a trip to Cinnabon.  There went 20 bucks just on fun and food and that didn't even count shopping yet!

Random Pittsburgh

These are the last of our pictures from Pittsburgh.  They are just random pictures that make me laugh.  The girls of course got SPOILED!  Taya spotted this huge container of cheese balls, and look what she got!

 The girls found my wedding video, and they were in awe watching it!

 Grampy took the girls to feed the cows.

 After riding in the car with Grampy for a week, the girls have raided his goods, and they even started singing his songs.  They now know the words to, "Thank God I'm a County Boy, and Take Me Home, Country Road."

 While Taya LOVES the songs...Teagan???

 She warmed up to it!

 Me...it was just good to be home!

 This picture...I have no words!  She wouldn't take off her Elsa dress, not even to pee on the potty.

 One of the best things about Grammy and Grampy's...the endless sweets!

The hammocks are always the place to relax!

 Both girls LOVE all the toys at Grammy and Grampy's.

 Fire's at 9am...yes that's how Grampy rolls!

 Taya teaching Teagan how to break sticks for the fire.

 This girl can hula hoop!

Teagan didn't sleep much in Pittsburgh.  When we arrived back in Raleigh, and Bart picked us up from the airport...this was what happened not even after 1 minute in the car!

What a great trip and great memories!  Thanks for all you did for us, and putting up with my crazy girls.  They LOVED every minute of spending time with their Grammy and Grampy, and can't wait to see you at the beach!

Idlewild

I still have a few more pictures from our fun in Pittsburgh.  One our second to last day, Taya and I spent the day at Idlewild Park.  It got ranked the top kids park in the world, and we had a BLAST!  We wanted to take Teagan, but she was still sick so she stayed at home with Grammy and Grampy.  They have a cool place called Story Book Forest with all of the nursery rhymes. 

Then, we went to Jumpin' Jungle that had all kinds of fun with balls! 

I wish this picture was in focus as it was pure joy jumping into the ball pit.

She spotted one of her favorite characters...Daniel the Tiger.

Time for rides in Kiddie Land.

She peddled around the whole track...I was shocked she made it without a push from anyone!

My glimpse into the future when she is old enough to get behind the wheel.

Tea cups...I don't know how she can go round and round and not get sick!

Time for more hugs.

It started to POUR in the afternoon.  Instead of heading home, we stayed dry in the ball pit.

The rain continued, but that didn't stop Taya!

The rain finally stopped, and I told Taya I would take her on one more ride....a roller coaster!  She loved it so much we rode it 6 times!!!!

A few more rides, and then the skies opened up again and it was time to head home.
