Then we took a Gateway Clipper Fleet cruise around Pittsburgh's three rivers.
And grooved to the music with the dancing fountains in Station Square.

Water Weekend
Evelyn and Brandon had a busy holiday weekend with a water theme. It started in the backyard with a popsicle and a dip in the (inflatable) pool.
Then we took a Gateway Clipper Fleet cruise around Pittsburgh's three rivers.
And grooved to the music with the dancing fountains in Station Square.

Goooaaaall!
Guess who scored her first goal?
Add in an assist and two scraped knees and you can tell that Evy had quite a game yesterday.

Art & Science Fair
Evelyn spends lots of her free time drawing pictures and creating artwork. At tonight's Art & Science Fair at school she was excited to receive a medal for a drawing she submitted.
We also enjoyed a presentation sponsored by the Carnegie Science Center. Hydrogen fireballs are always cool.

Girls' Weekend
One of Evelyn's birthday presents was a pair of tickets to see her favorite band in concert. In Cleveland, Ohio.
She and Steph turned the road trip into a girls' getaway. They went to dinner at a fancy restaurant, stayed overnight at a friend's house, and went to the concert on Sunday afternoon.
Evy had a great time singing and dancing and talking to the band after the show. She is still tired from the fun but busy weekend.

Bumblebee Lions
Evelyn decided to play soccer again this season. She is a member of the yellow team - now known as the Bumblebee Lions. That's what happens when you let a bunch of five and six year olds name their own team.
After the first game Evy has already kicked the ball more times than she did for the entire last season. She hasn't scored a goal yet, but is still very good at avoiding mud puddles, waving to her fans, and enjoying the halftime snack.
A few more pictures from the first game are on Flickr.

Birthday Extravaganza
Evelyn was able to celebrate her sixth birthday for an entire four day weekend.
Highlights included Build-a-Bear, Red Robin, a party, a princess cake, a cookout, bringing treats to Kindergarten, and a cupcake on her actual birthday. Being six is sure starting out great.

New Car Show
The Pittsburgh International Auto Show was in town this weekend. We went downtown to the Convention Center to check out some new cars (that we are not looking to buy). Since there aren't any old car shows in the winter, this seemed like the next best thing.
Evy hopped in and out of every kind of vehicle possible - golf carts, mini vans, convertibles, SUVs, and trucks. She especially liked this Mini Cooper with the orange stripe.
Brandon liked the 100th Anniversary Corvette (priced at $126,000). But if you ask him what his favorite part was he'll tell you "the water." The Convention Center sits along the Allegheny River and has a great view of some bridges, PNC Park and the North Shore.
