Kennywood Heinz Employee Picnic

A Day at Kennywood

We spent the day at Kennywood (an amusement park) for the Heinz Company Picnic. We had a lot of fun and the weather was absolutley perfect.

The park had about 20 different rides the kids could go on; some even the adults could enjoy.

This was Jacob's favorite ride! He loved the cars.

Abby found it her solemn big sister duy to keep Jacob safe on all the rides. She takes her big sister duties very seriously.

We enjoyed funnel cake and deep fryed oreos! Yum

Heinz had a large pavillion set up with food, drinks, animal balloons for the kids, face painting, and radio disney.

Abby was called up on stage to participate in the huluhoop contest. She did pretty good coming in 2nd place. She won a Pirates of the Caribbean Sticker....Or according to Jacob a Jacks sticker.

A Post for Jaime - Strawberry Festival

Apparently, I need to post more pictures of the kids! So here you go. A few weekends ago we went to a Strawberry Festival just south of Pittsburgh. This is the view of the festival from the strawberry patch which was up on a hill. I know it's hard to see but there are bounce houses, animals, slides, a barn playhouse, horses. etc.

Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. I guess there was a finger print on the lense. Darn, some of these pictures would have turned our really good.
Playing in the bounce houses which of course they loved.



We rode in a wagon up to the strawberry patch and got to pick our own Stawberries. Jacob ate while he picked (green leaves and all) and insisted on holding the basket.

We got to feed the goats, see bees in a beehive, meet Strawberry Shortcake, play, and ride horses.

This was by far the kids favorite activity. The helmet wasn't required but Jacob insisted on wearing it. Even though it was overcast is was really humid. Jacobs cheeks were bright red.

Jacob has been asking almost everyday if we can "tractor, strawbies, horse, play" go now!
