A Day at Kennywood Amusement Park in Pittsburgh, PA

We went to a fun amusement park with our friends the Pacheco's.  We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed our day!  Oliver did pretty good he wasn't happy at first because he wanted to run around everywhere and not sit in his stroller. But, after awhile he adjusted and we all had a good time being together.  Kennywood was a lot like Lagoon in Utah.  More memories were created that will never be forgotten.

Lucas, Vincent, Joyce, Eliza and Alec

Alec, girl we don't know and Eliza riding a fun ride.

Cheetoes sure hit the spot when you ride around in the stroller all day.  

Lucas driving daddy around... scary, ha ha!

Eliza behind the wheel!  Scarier!

Chris , Oliver and Liza on a boat ride.  

The Merry Go Round was fun for everybody!

Oliver wasn't quite sure what to think of the Merry Go Round but after a couple of times he enjoyed it.

Chris finishing the log ride, just a little wet.

Eliza was so awesome about taking Oliver on the kiddie rides.  He thought they were pretty cool!  Thanks Eliza for being a good sissy to him!

Lucas and friend Vincent being dorks!

Happy Father's Day Dada!  We love you so much!  You are the best dada anybody could ask for!  We love you, We love you, We love you!  Thank you for all of your hard work and loving us so much!  You are the #1 Daddy!

Father's Day was a lot of fun!  We got up early and went and ate breakfast at Eat-N-Park.  Very similar to a Denny's yet so much funner! Chris calls it the Greasy Spoon. Why?  You would have to ask him.  After breakfast we headed to the Pittsburgh Zoo!  It was a very busy and crowded day but so much fun to see all of the neat animals.  We really enjoyed spending time with our daddy!  He seemed to enjoy himself too!  Good to get away from  the books, rotations and the same old.  Pittsburgh Zoo is a cool place to visit.  Happy Father's Day, Chris you are the best daddy that we could as for!

Eliza and Lucas so happy to be out to breakfast for Father's Day!  And then to be heading to the zoo! What a fun day to spend with our awesome daddy!

Oliver pointing with Chris at the Tiger saying, "Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!"  It was so stinking cute even though he calls every animal a kitty!  It fit the moment perfectly.

The tiger Oliver was calling a "Kitty"

Handsome Lucas at the zoo having a blast!

Chris with the kids checking out some of the elephants.  Oliver kept calling them Kitties.  Not quite son!

Happy Oliver!  Before he started to get cranky and fell asleep!  

Half way thru touring the zoo our tummies were hungry so we stopped for lunch to relax and get energized again.

Eliza and Lucas seeing if they were as tall as this Polar Bear Statue.  Not quite...

Ollie fast asleep with his blanket.

Eliza and Lucas petting the deer who is 16 years old.  This deer just sat there for hours and let everybody pet him.  Crazy stuff!

Lucas Graduated from Pre-K on June 12, 2009 now he is ready for Kindergarten! Yahoo!

Here in Pittsburgh you can have your children be a part of the preschool program that is part of the school district. They call it Pre-K. Lucas had the opportunity to go to school everyday just like his sister Eliza and learn! He really did well and enjoyed it once he was there! If you asked him how school was he would say, " I told you I do not want to talk about it right now." Every once in a while he would talk about school and express how much he was liking it! His teachers would also give me the run down that he was a great student and enjoyed helping other classmates learn who were struggling! So when Pre-K graduation was here Lucas was so excited! We are so happy for you buddy! You are an awesome stud boy! We love you so much and can't wait to see you continue to grow and learn as you enter Kindergarten! Keep up the awesome work and don't ever forget how much mommy and daddy love you! Always and forever! Congratulations on graduating form Pre-K! You rock!
After the graduation there was a celebration at the park right above the school! There was music, food, bubbles, and just a lot of fun for everyone!

Stud boy now ready for the big Kindergarten! He kept saying, "so now I do not have to wake up and hurry and get ready for school for 3 days right mommy?" I would say, "no buddy for 3 whole months." He would then say, "Oh yah that is good!"
