Children's Museum

The kids had election day off of school, so they voted to visit the Children's Museum. They enjoyed their regular favorites like the Waterplay area and the Studio.

Printing Ink

And of course the Garage.

Two Tires

They also discovered some new fun things, like the Prism Palace.

A Wintry Mix

More than once this winter we experienced a mix of snow, rain, sleet and ice. Add in temperatures reaching -12 degrees Fahrenheit and we've had quite a start to 2015.

We did manage to built a few snow sculptures and take a ride on a snow snowmobile.

More photos of our winter activities (including Valentine's Day, Monster Jam and lots of playing in the snow) are on Flickr.

Happy Halloween!

We've been practicing for Halloween since mid-October. We went to a party, visited a local shopping center, did trunk-or-treat and each of the kids had a school party. Most of those things included candy, and all of them were attended in costume.

So it didn't matter too much that actual trick-or-treat this Halloween was cold and rainy, right?

Kids Day at Heinz Field

Evelyn had a fun day on the North Side visiting Heinz Field.

In the Stands

She was able to go down on the field to take the Quarterback Challenge and attempt a field goal, and she also visited the Steelers locker room and the press box.

Then we went to the Great Hall and listened to the the radio broadcast of the Immaculate Reception, so of course we had to walk across the street to visit the actual spot of Franco Harris' legendary catch.

Here we go, Steelers! More photos from Kids Day at Heinz Field are on Flickr.
