We were able to go up to my parents this year! I won't say it was our best Wieder vacation (mostly due to all four kids throwing up at some point during the trip, a three hour traffic jam in Virginia, Gary had a piece of BARK stuck in his eye and didn't get it removed until the LAST day we were there, the ridiculous parking situation at Heinz field for the day game of the Pirates, and coming and going speeding tickets that I got courtesy of the fine men and women in blue in Bennetsville), but we DID manage to have some great fun.
We were blessed to get to pet a penguin at the Pittsburgh Zoo. The kids were so excited and all reported this as their most exciting thing they did this summer. It was, of course, the hottest summer I can remember up there, so we spent LOTS of days at the Edgeworth club pool swimming away the heat. (we managed to shut down the baby pool because Ryan "leaked" through his diaper. Can you say Bio-hazard?) And most of all, we got to enjoy some great Nana and Pampaw time. The kids always love going up there and running around the yard, playing at the playground, and just having good old fashioned fun. I got to see some great friends I hadn't seen in a while, and am looking forward to seeing them again soon.
I hope we continue to do this trip each year, minus all the extra "fun" we had this past year. Ryan was a trooped being tied down for 15 hours. He wins the "best car rider" award.
