Well, it came and went! Time flies when you are having fun!
June 20th ~ Mom and Dad arrived with Eddie and Trevor. We went on a massive shopping trip to Walmart for some food and afterwards I made some tacos for dinner. ( Eddie's favorite) After dinner, my MOm took my dad back to the hotel and I cleaned up. Mom came back and we talked about to do with the kids the next day. We decided on a park called Chestnut Ridge park by Cooper's Rock. The boys sacked out on the couch and chair by 10pm

Trevor..sound asleep
June 21st ~ It was hot and muggy!! The girls and I were up early at 7:30am to take Faith to Summer School. My brother Ed called around 8am telling me he was in DE and that he should be there by 1pm..Well we waited and waited and waited some more and finally at 2:15 he arrived! His front tires were bald from the front end being miss aligned. He ended up at Good Year for new tires and a alignment and to fix the problem that caused it to begin with! The park was scrapped because of time. I made chicken, cheese burgers, corn, potato and macaroni salad for dinner. I took my Dad back to the hotel and Mom and I went to get the tickets needed for Kennywood! When we got back Ed and Terri were out on the porch and the kids were crazy in the house. He left and I was left to get everyone bathed and in bed! I did yell a little bit and went off on my nephews for leaving stuff all over the living room floor. Mom and I finally had peace at 10pm!! I was so tired that I left all the dishes in the sink!

June 22nd ~ Kennywood day! I was awakened by the alarm at 7am and swiftly got a shower to try and wake up! Coffee was brewing and while I waited I did the dishes. My Mom and Dad walked in around 7:30 and shortly after I got the kids up and dressed. My brother was on time and was there by 8am. At the last minute we made sandwiches and then we were off to Kennywood at 9:07am.. I pulled out of the driveway to find no one there! Ed's GPS sent him a different way and Mom and Dad were lost! I did manage to meet up with Mom and Dad after they called me and I gave them directions to 79..Thank God for cell phones!
We finally arrived at Kennywood and made the LONG trek to the entrance. The park changed little since I had been there in Aug. 09. The antique cars taht were once at the front of the park were replaced by a new roller coaster called the Sky Rocket. The weather was great though a little on the humid side but bearable..not like Williamsburg last year! The kids had a blast!! My dad and Eddie and Trevor rode the sling shot! $50 for the 3 of them..my dad has always had an adventureous side to him! I was surprised he still had it! Before ..

Emilee also loved the Merry go round..She went on with Mom Mom 3 times and it was the last ride before we left! Everytime she got off she would pet her horse and say good bye!

Around dinner time I walked out to the car with my parents to give them the directions to the hotel. After coming back into the park the kids rode more rides!! Raging Rapids 4 times in a row!!
I was a hot commodity between Maggie and Trevor! They both wanted me to ride the roller coasters with them! I rode 2 each..The last one was called the Exterminator..It was an Inside roller coaster and the most fun I had all day! The car was shped like a rat's head with 2 seats on a side. Ed rode with Maggie and Eddie and I rode with Trevor..Seat belts were optional for people above 46 inches! Well, it started calm enough then it got faster and darker and I was sliding all over the seat! I finally put my feet up on the ledge to brace myself!! I laughed so hard!! Trevor kept saying I didn't expect that everytime we went obver a bump or spun! It seems that Ed and the other kids had the same bit of trouble!! Eddie and Maggie kept bumping into each other and Ed had the same problem with being all over the seat!! He tried to get Maggie's seatbelt on but couldn't and the ride attendant said she didn't need it..so he never bothered to put his on and Eddie took his off!! WRONG move!! LOL
My Chickies..

June 23rd ~ The weatehr started out not so good..It was black when we arrived at the zoo and soon after we entered and got to the first exhibit it poured!! Luckily there was an over hang there and we hung out there until it stopped! We even saw blue skies!! The Pittsburgh Zoo has a wide array of animals and is spread out much more then Phila Zoo. It also has an aquairium that the kids really liked..especially the penguins!
