4th of July

This post is going to be a long one- tons of pictures were taken (thank you Royce)!

We spent the 4th downtown. My parents and brother came into town and we were excited to show them the awesome firework show that Pittsburgh puts on. 

They came up Sunday and Elsa was so happy to have new people to play with......

playing the "drums"

 New bubble maker from Grandma

catching lightening bugs 

 E got pretty tuckered out so we took her inside to get her pjs on and 

of course she got all her energy back!

Monday morning we got up nice and early and headed downtown...

 We fed the ducks who also took a few nips at Alex's feet!

We took a walk across the Fort Pitt Bridge to the Inclines

 

Then we walked back into the city to cool off in the fountains

We had a nice lunch with the DiPietros and then headed back downtown to get a prime spot for the fireworks. Of course once we found our spot it started to pour. 

We ran to get cover under one of the underpasses. It kept us pretty dry and the sun set was really pretty despite all the rain!

Luckily, that was the last rain storm to pass through and we were able to enjoy an awesome firework show.
