Phase 3

Phase 3 – PITTSBURGH

(Don’t forget to read about Phase 1 and Phase 2)

Finally, Hannah and I headed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a week or so with my sister Cheryl.  This week was the most chill of our entire trip but that doesn’t mean we didn’t stay busy and we didn’t have a great time enjoying one another’s company and kids. 

Cheryl teaches about 6 exercise classes throughout the week.  She would usually go to those in the mornings while Hannah and I would stay home and sleep in (her kids get up earlier than Hannah).  We would then hang out and play with the kids in the morning and after naps try and do something.

We hit up the McDonald’s play area one day.

We hit up the mall play area one day.

We also took advantage of the fact that Cheryl kind of knows what she’s doing when it comes to hair (at least more than I) so Hannah got a haircut. 

The highlight was probably the Children’s Museum. The kids loved it as it was totally interactive and at their level.  They could play however they wanted and make as big of a mess as they wanted.

And of course, the reason for the trip – quality cousin bonding time. 

 
The favorite games these 3 played was running across the room into someone’s arms after they counted to 3.  All of the kids would stand at the wall and wait for me or Cheryl to say, “1, 2, 3!” Then they would run to us.  Sawyer was the most aggressive and usually took off early…would would catch himself and scoot his little body back up.  Lincoln was the fastest and would make it to us first.  Hannah always waited until the coast was clear and she knew she wouldn’t collide with anyone before she took off running.  She didn’t care as much about winning.

Thanks for letting us come Cheryl!
