A VERY Special Visit

The first weekend in October brought some special visitors to Pittsburgh. My mom and dad drove my grandparents from Grand Rapids to Pittsburgh to see our house and, of course, Chloe!

Presque Isle--Erie, PA

Saturday we drove up to Presque Isle State Park in Erie, PA. Chloe had her first experience of a state park. We walked along lake Erie and had a wonderful time. We were hoping that we would see some great birds...a lot of ring billed gulls, herring gulls, a couple of greater black backed gulls, a cormorant and a kestrel (I saw the hawk on our way out of the nature center). We did see a group of what I assume were small shorebirds swooping around, flying tightly together, but they landed behind the rocks and we never saw them again.

And now some adorable pictures of Chloe...


A NOT so happy moment (yes, I was laughing as I took this...she has such a funny cry sometimes!)

Our first day away!

My friend Cassie got married this past weekend and John and I went. There were no babies allowed, so we packed up Chloe and she spent about 10 hours with her Gramma and Grampa Kerrish. Here are some pictures from Cassie and Jarrad's wedding.

John and I (I'm having my FIRST DRINK since last Halloween!!)

We sure do like to have fun!

This was the view from our table!

It was a beautiful wedding and reception. I wish we had been able to stay the whole night, but it was just too long for me to be away! :)
