Kennywood

Last Wednesday the Litrenta family headed to Kennywood Park for the day. The kids were so excited, they had never been there. Shortly after we arrived, Anthony kept complaining he was tired. Turned out - he got the flu. After he threw up, we decided to head home. Lindsey stayed with the rest of the gang and had a ball. Anthony slept the whole way home and had a fever through Friday morning. He only got to go on 3 rides. We promised him we would take him back before the summer is over.

Lindsey just had her dance recital with Jennifer Leigh's Dance Gallery. This is her second year of hip-hop and we don't know where she gets her moves from. It was a long and hot week with lots of rehearsals but the show was fantastic - keep dancing Lindsey.

Our little baby boy is now 6 years old. We don't know where the years went. Anthony had a bowling party with his friends from school and then we had a family birthday party at our house. The weather cooperated and we got to spend lots of time outside. Anthony got a new bike since he outgrew his old one. Another favorite gift was an MP3 player of his very own. He received lots of gift cards, he just made a build a bear monkey with one of them and he is looking forward to getting Mario Cart Wii with the other gift cards.

Childrens Museum

We finally went to the Children's Museum in Pittsburgh. The kids enjoyed all the hands on activities, Lindsey especially liked all the arts and crafts she did. Anthony liked climbing everywhere. We then spent the night at a hotel and the kids swam non-stop. We had a great weekend.
