Long Weekend

We've been enjoying a long weekend. Yesterday was especially fun because we knew it was 'second Saturday' which made it more exciting. Peleh's Auntie Katie came to visit from Brooklyn. We had a good time in downtown Pittsburgh. After picking Katie up from the airport we killed some time at a nice green park, playing on the rusty equipment, until we met up with Peleh's Uncle Seth and Ali at the Ethiopian restaurant (Abay). Katie said it was the best Ethiopian she had had. It was our first and was delicious. Michael who lived and worked in Pittsburgh during college, and some local friends recommended it. I was a little disappointed we didn't get to sit on the floor, or at the low tables with little stools, but with Peleh and because I was wearing a dress it worked out just fine.

We brought Katie back to Greensburg and she got to check out the house and town. She misunderstood me when I said it was Communities Days in Greensburg this weekend and we would get to go that evening. She thought I said Community Dance and thought ' uuuuuh... great!'  We did go check it out once the sun went down and it cooled down. While we waited I made some Brie en Crout which was good but I like fresh brie better.

So we went to Community Days which is held in the park just too far from our house to walk. We parked a few blocks closer and walked in with the stroller. There were lots of people. Lots of strollers but maybe that's just something I notice. There were craft booths, fried foods of all sorts, a sound stage, and carnival rides. We arrived just in time to check out the rides and decide the lines were too long for chocolate covered fruit and for tickets. Then the fireworks began and we made our way back to a grassy area to sit and watch. Peleh liked it and pointed up to the fireworks every now and then. Otherwise he wanted to push the stroller and he walked over to the little girl near us and sat watching her for a long time. Sorry we didn't get to dance, Katie.

On Sunday morning Katie, Peleh, Deseo and I went to Busy Run and did the little hike around the trail. It was very hot so we dragged ourselves back to the truck and went back to the house to lounge around.

Today we are enjoying another lazy day of galvanized tub water works, twizzlers, and naps.
