On Monday we went to the Carnegie Science Center. Connected to the science center is SportsWorks. Here is Madeline executing a back flip on the bungee trampoline.
Mommy's back flip was higher.
Emily is a monster of the climbing wall.
In the museum, the girls explored a mock submarine.
Their newest display is on the science of guitars. In this shot the girls are playing with a sound frequency wheel.
After the museum, the girls had a swim meet. All three girls did extremely well. Here is Emily with an excellent start off the blocks.
Tuesday was a trip to Ohiopyle State Park. Here's the whole family (including Grandma) in front of Ohiopyle Falls.
We had an excellent picnic near a small stream.
After a little hiking, eating and wading at Ohiopyle, we went to Fallingwater, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home near the state park.
For the Fourth of July, Madeline worked all morning preparing for a party. She made a pinata out of a cereal box.
We played pin the flag on the flag pole. (Grandma and I lost).
And we had confetti fireworks. Madeline has a future as a party planner.
On Thursday, Grandma had to go home and I had to go to scout camp for a few days. We were among those who suffered from the heat wave, so the girls mostly hibernated inside and worked on sewing projects. Here is Emily's latest effort.
Joanne in her crafty element.
