The twins and I [Theresa] had a great trip to Pgh to visit friends this weekend. I picked them up after school and we headed out. It was rainy and raw but only a few snowflakes mixed with the rain near Breezewood. We stayed with Mike and Shayna and let me tell you, it was hard to imagine when the twins were little that they would one day be my "easy kids." But they were so much fun to travel with. On Sat. we went to the Heinz History Center and had a great time there. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Pgh. This was our third time there but some of the exhibits change so there was plenty to see. And do -- it's a great museum for kids with lots of interactive exhibits. From there we went north to meet friends (Heather and Tami and their kids) at Wildwood Highlands in North Park. It was great to catch up with them. When we got back to the Bowling's house Toby and Chloe were there and we played a few games, all of which I came in miserably last. It's a good things I'm not a particularly competitive person :) This morning we left just before 9am so that we could be home in time to meet our friends Josh and Lydia who were stopping in at our house for a quick visit on their way BACK to Pittsburgh! We had the chicken corn noodle soup that I had prepared on Friday before I left and Tom heated up in the crock pot while at church this morning. Boy, life takes a lot of organization! So, a great time was had by all -- here and abroad. [Note:  Originally posted on Facebook, October 18, 5:13pm].
