June 24-27

I'm kind of behind in posting. We've just done so much that it is hard to keep up! On Wednesday we went to the Carnegie Science Center.

 
We learned about space...
  
Explored a real submarine...

Met some famous robots...
 

Saw a scale model train of famous Pittsburgh landmarks...

And Seth realized his dream of seeing Pee Wee Herman's bike.


Thursday was the twin's birthday. They are four and, no matter how much I protest, insist that they are officially NOT babies!
 
We celebrated with Oma and Opa (Grama and Granpa), aunts and cousins...




Friday we went to the Pittsburgh Zoo. I've been to zoos in Salt Lake, Denver, San Diego, and Pitt, and this one is by far the coolest. You start by riding a giant escalator up a hill and then you snake your way through the forest...
 
They even have an aquarium!


 
And rope bridges!
 
Saturday we spent some time the Children's Museum... 
 
 
This was the coolest thing. A "mirror" made of little wooden squares. A camera set in the middle of the hexagon would record your image, and the squares would tilt up and down to change the shadow and light reflected on them to recreate your image. High tech and low tech at the same time!
 
The kids even did some crafts...
