Ramsey Park/Waterfall and Damn

Earlier this year, at the end of June, when we were getting an abundance of rain we decided to go check out the waterfall and damn at Ramsey park after church one Sunday.
It was a beautiful morning and we saw lots of water.

 We did a little walking too.
Below is Marty and Jared by the damn.
 Below is a picture of the damn.



Above we have the waterfall... pretty dirty water as it is all run-offs from the fields.
And here we have the baby bump again... at about 17 weeks, June 23, 2013.

Kennywood Amusement Park

Day 2 in Pittsburgh was spent at an Amusement Park.
This was Gracelyn and Zach's first time at a park and they were just in heaven with all the rides.
There was a very nice kiddie ride section and we spent the majority of the day in that area.
Auntie Lisa was kind enough to keep Jared home with her, so it was just Marty, I, and the 2 big kids.







         



Zach, who is usually so shy went right up to Mr. Kenny the Kangaroo and requested to have his picture taken.

We had a super fun day and Gracelyn was even just barely tall enough that she got on her first "big" roller coaster.  Marty went with her. She thought it was so much fun.

Lake Erie

Before we left Cleveland we thought we should check out Lake Erie.

Gracie and Zach enjoyed hiking on the rocks along the pier. 


Enjoying a snack from the ice cream shop on the beach.



And here is the baby bump... week 16 for Baby #4!!!

Pittsburgh Zoo

After the wedding events were over we headed to Pittsburgh, PA to stay and visit with Auntie Lisa and Uncle Mick.
Sunday was Father's Day and we decided to spend it at the Pittsburgh Zoo.
It was a rainy day, so a little wet and cold, but over all I think the kids enjoyed it.

Fighting the rain!






The Zoo crew: Gracelyn, Jared, Uncle Mick, Zacy, Auntie Lisa, Marty, Miller, and myself.


All afternoon we were hoping little Jared would fall asleep, but of course on the way out he finally does!

Picnic in the parking lot.
