So HOT!

It's been super hot in Md. One day we got to visit with our buddy, Evan. The shaded water table was PERFECT!

Pittsburgh

We went up to Pittsburgh one weekend to visit friends of Meghan's. The Stover family were wonderful hosts, and the Burns family is almost ready to meet their little one soon!

We had a fabulous time! Owen enjoyed running circles around the Stover's house, and showing them all the places to baby-proof when Violet gets older. We went on a ride on the Gateway Clipper in downtown Pittsburgh - under a ton of bridges and lots of sight-seeing from the boat. Then we went to dinner at a brewery (Owen's favorite). We also got to visit the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. It has exhibits for all ages, and trust me - ALL ages had a great time! For dinner we went to the Hofbrauhaus Pittsburgh. It was big, and loud, but fun!

This station had wood and plastic pieces, and nuts and bolts to build anything! Someone had already made a building

Violet totally fits in the roof holes

He was the only one that could fit inside

The holes in the table were blowing the air up, and the green balls were staying up!
