Pirates Fun

Thursday July 4

We headed downtown early met up w. my family around 11am for the Pirates game. The game wasnt until 1:30 so once we headed across the Clemente Bridge, we headed down to the river walk & down to the water steps We took some pictures (go figure right?)  and then headed down the river walk towards Heinz Field to grab some food at the vendors, hung out for awhile and headed back down to PNC Park for the game. 

I am not a baseball fan whatsoever but I do like going down to the stadium and the river walk to hang out! We had great seats in right field, however there isnt a bad seat in that stadium!  I dont think I really even watched the game and I don't even know who won?!?! 


Breanna did really good for not taking a nap and lasted til about 3rd inning before she started to get restless...(now you're probably thinking only 3rd inning, for most that is a short amount of time but we were down there 2 hours before the game started and it was hot hot hot!) 



So me & my sister took Breanna, Kate and Nick to the playground to run around for a little bit. They were having a blast and didn't want to leave. We then headed back up to our seats and we ended up heading out shortly after that. We were just so hot and miserable and I knew Breanna wasnt going to stay still for much longer w.out wanting to nap, so we trekked back across the bridge and headed home. 



Despite the heat it was a great afternoon with family!!

Family Fun-

If you dont want to see lots of pictures you may want to click that little X up there!! Sorry not Sorry!!!

Wednesday (July 3) Breanna & I met up w. everyone {my mom, aunt, her friend, my brother and his family) down at Station Square to go on the Ducky Tour- if you are not familiar w. this, its a boat/truck/duck that goes on land and in water and takes you all around town! It was everyone's first time and it was a blast!

We got there early but that's ok because Breanna got to spend some time running around with her cousins, that she absolutely ADORES! They have a really nice courtyard w. dancing fountains that dance every 20 minutes. At first Breanna wasn't too sure how she felt about it, but after she saw her cousins running through it, she was better! By the time it was ready for us to go on the boat, the boys were soaked but they had a blast!




We loaded up on the boat and we were off...they took us past a lot of the landmarks in the city and explained a lot about the city, then once we got into the water we went down to the point and turned around and it was back to land.





If you are ever visiting Pittsburgh and have never been here before I highly recommend it. While we don't live IN the city, I have lived in this area for my entire life and I absolutely love our city! After we got back we went over to see the grand concourse and then headed down to the strip district to eat at Spaghetti Warehouse.
