The fam went to Pittsburgh for a long weekend. We did lots of fun things the first place that we went was the Pittsburgh Zoo. We found animals that everyone loved and enjoyed watching. We were really looking forward to walking through the tube under the sharks and the polar bear.
It was pretty impressive to watch the polar bear push off the top ledge and then push off the bottom and go sailing past us back to the top.
The sand sharks made some pretty cool shadows on the side walls also. A couple of them swam over the tunnel so we could see their belly's. The sand shark has 94 teeth in 3 rows. It was also educational.
And Max was happy that he got to see lots of different fishes in really big tanks.
Scott's favorite was the polar bear.
Jen's favorite was the seadragon (look like seahorses with leaves all over them)
Zoe's favorite was buying the stuffed lemur (only a 3 year old could do this at the zoo), we think she like the gorillas since that was the only animal she wanted to see a second time.
Max's favorite the fishes.
More about our vacation to come later.
This was one of Max's happier moments.
When we got to Santa, well, Max christened the evening with the first wailing child. He never stopped. Zoe was a little worried for her brother.
And we also got to enjoy some really cool lights. We learned when a good time to go is and I'm not telling because I'm selfish like that. We were actually able to enjoy the lights as we walked from the back of the zoo to the entrance, instead of watching for the people who like to walk in front of strollers. 60+ pounds of kid in a double stroller does not stop on a dime.
