Last Weekend's Trip

We took some family time two weekends ago (the one before Memorial Day weekend). On Friday night we took in a Pirates game at PNC Park, and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was fireworks night, and after the 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks (we ultimately lost the series) the night was particularly festive.

I snapped a few pictures with my phone, but I confess I didn't know how to send them to my email until I humbled myself and asked my son's help. That's why I waited so long to make this post. Ben was very patient and even served as my training wheels until I was confident I could do it myself. Here is a picture of the Pittsburgh skyline after dark and an example of the fireworks.


The next day we dropped Ben at his girlfriend Stacy's to help with a fundraising dinner she had organized for a little boy she takes care of. The boy was born with water on the brain (hyrdocephalus) and the dinner was to help defray some of his medical expenses. The dinner was a great success, with more people showing up than expected. The makeshift sign on the door tells the story.

We're really proud of Stacy for her hard work and compassionate heart.
