The Tater Tot Update: Our trip to Pittsburgh

At the beginning of August we went to Pittsburgh to see my grandmother (she is 97 and amazing!). She met Harrison two years ago when we visited her to celebrate her 95th birthday, but had not yet met Barrett. We met my sister and her family there along with my Mom and we also got to see my Uncle Bernie and my cousin Ali.

I think Harrison had as much fun in the hotel as he did anywhere, because he loved running up and down the halls and going back and forth from our room to Jeffrey and Charlie's room.

Each day we visited my grandmother at her apartment, and the boys ran around in the courtyard and checked out the big fish tank in the hallway. It was a bit tough to keep them contained in her apartment, but she had a good time seeing them in all of their craziness. We visited one fun spot each day we were there: the Carnegie Museum of Science, the Pittsburgh Zoo and the Children's Museum. All were big hits, and it was fun to have all the boys together to play and explore. Barrett did his best to keep up with the big kids, and somehow managed to hold his own pretty well. He certainly did crash at the end of each day but somehow still managed to get up way too early each morning.

Here are some pictures of our adventures:

Barrett loved the water play area at the Carnegie Museum

He was really excited to find a big water table full of balls. Really can't go wrong when you combine two of his favorite things like that!

Barrett and Daddy, still enjoying the water area!

Harrison had fun pretending to be a giant animal climbing out of a tree stump.

Barrett and Nonny at the end of a very long trip to the Carnegie Museum. He was sooo tired.

There is a separate part of the museum where you get to try out a lot of physical things. What a great way to really make sure they were completely exhausted!
