A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)

National Aviary Flamingo Fest: A Great Activity Since We Avoided Blizzard 2013

on

It’s a beautiful Sunday in Pittsburgh!  Why is it beautiful? I just looked outside and it’s one of the first days in a while that it hasn’t been snowing. Although Pittsburgh does not have perfect weather, we were spared Blizzard 2013.  I think that we owe it to ourselves to take advantage of that!

As you may know, I am a huge fan of the National Aviary. It’s one of Pittsburgh’s treasures.  Inside it is a tropical oasis filled with beautiful plants, flowers and of course, lots of birds. A trip to the National Aviary is the next best thing to taking a Spring Break.

Since the roads are passable, it’s a great day to go on a family outing. If you’re looking for something to do, check out Flamingo Fest at the National Aviary. My daughter and I went yesterday and it was quite lovely. They had crafts, games and shows all focused on flamingos. Also, the birds were absolutely beautiful!

The gorgeous flamingos!
 

The National Aviary is open from 10:00AM-5:00PM. They’re also having snacks between 10 and 1. Check it out!
