Summer Fun

We have been busy packing as much fun as possible into the last month of summer. The kids took a ride on the Strasburg Railroad,



created their own virtual ice cream flavor at the Turkey Hill Experience,

stayed up past bedtime celebrating Lauren and Andrew's wedding,



visited the Pittsburgh Zoo with their cousins,

and had a blast at parties, picnics, reunions and playgrounds.

Lots more pictures of our fun summer are on Flickr.

Brandon is Four!

Brandon stretched out his birthday celebration over a good two weeks this year. It was an extravaganza. He started with a birthday party and a biplane cake.



Then there was a celebration (with more cake) while his cousins were in town. Then dinner at Red Robin (with an ice cream sundae).

Finally, we had birthday pancakes on his actual birthday.



That afternoon we topped it all off with a birthday trip to Kennywood.



If you're keeping track he had two cakes, five happy birthday songs (including a reprise), a ton of ice cream and a lot of fun.
