Labor Day Highlights

We've been readjusting to life back in the big city this week after spending some time in our home state of Pennsylvania.  This time around it was warm enough to enjoy all of the superb outdoor activities that the Keystone State has to offer.  We spent time at the local park testing out the swings:


Mommy tested out some other playground equipment, all of which has been there since she was a kid, and it just barely passed.  Needless to say, the Girlie won't be trying out that slide until she's about 20, just to be safe.  (I think I set a speed record-- after, that is, I survived the climb to the top).  

The Bambina also met a new cousin of hers:


Daisy and her hit it off right from the start.  They have so much in common after all-- same height, parents native Pennsylvanians, love of the color pink.  A match made in heaven.

The Girlie had a great time at Nonna and Paddy's, and she especially enjoyed playing with Aunt Anne and Uncle Mark:


She had an awesome time at Nanny and Pap's house as well.  They had set up an entire play area for her, complete with a garden and kitchen!!


How lucky can one girl be?  

We even got a tour of Pap's garden by the head gardener himself:


You can take the Nonna out of Italy, but you can't take the Italy out of Nonna:


Before we returned to the big city, we picked up a dinosaur for the Girlie.  That's right, her very own vehicular reptile.  She was so excited that she even helped Daddy put it together this week:


Where'd she go??


Check out her new ride:
