a fun weekend

here are some highlights from last weekend when my cousin robin visited pittsburgh with her family.

on saturday, we went to kennywood and spent more than 12 hours there! it was hot and crowded, and with 7 children and 7 adults more than a little chaotic. i'm pretty certain everyone had a good time (except maybe robin's daughter anja who doesn't really like rides much, but i think she might have had at least some fun).

maggie took her first ride on the jack rabbit, but i will make a separate post for that. she's such a cutie! i'm not sure that she loved it, but she didn't hate it!

here are some other pictures from that day.

i had the chance to take a few long exposures of the lights. some of them came out well, some, not so much.

erik managed to stay awake until about 5 minutes before the park closed. he was so burned out by the end of the night that he didn't even wake up getting into and out of the car, and barely budged when i changed him into his pjs and put him into bed.
