Pittsburgh Trip-Our Visit and Swimming

We had so much fun at Gigi and Pappy's house. One of things we loved to do while we were there was get all the coloring stuff out and just sit and create.



Georgia really loves coloring now and gets so excited when we tell her let's go color.

The girls loved blowing bubbles out on Gigi and Pappy's patio with their cousins and with my Uncle Paul. They loved spending time with Uncle Paul.

Gracie and Gwen had so much fun with Nate. They did puzzles with him, colored with him, played computer games with him...everything they could think of.

It was so nice to spend so much time with Daddy too. We miss being able to cuddle and play with him as much as we used to. Little girls sure do love their daddy.

Georgia sure loved her Uncle Paul. She spent a lot of time with him, and gave him hugs over and over and over again one night...she just wouldn't stop.

Gwen wanted so badly to have some snuggle time with Pappy, so while we were all resting/taking naps one day, she grabbed her blanket and stuffed animal and snuggled up with Pappy.

They loved spending time with my Aunt Ruth as well (my mom's sister). Gracie kept calling her Nana, which is what they call my mom, but Aunt Ruth didn't mind.

We took the girls swimming almost every afternoon while we were there. They loved the pool so much that I think next summer we might have to get pool passes for the local pool and take the girls a couple times a week. Probably even have the two older girls take swimming lessons. The kiddie pool there was really cool...they had a little slide that looked like a frog. The girls loved spending time at the pool. Gwen was even brave enough to go under the water a couple of times.

Grace refused to go down the slide without someone at the bottom to catch her. The pool wasn't deep enough for her to go under, but it still scared her. Most of the time Pappy was there to catch the kids. Grace even had her second cousin Lily there to help her off the slide this time.

Georgia absolutely loved the pool. Oh my word, it was so hard to get her to come out of the pool when we were ready to leave. Georgia didn't even want me holding her hand most of the time. Sure she slipped a couple of times, and went under the water, but I was right there to grab her. She loved playing in the pool with toys, and going down the slide over and over and over again.

We had such a wonderful time in Pittsburgh, and it was hard to leave. The girls are constantly asking me when we can go back. Thank you to Gigi and Pappy, and to all the rest of my family, for making this such a wonderful vacation for our little family, for being so loving towards my girls, and for just spending time with us. We love you all so much!!
