Another place that Chad wanted to go while we were in Pittsburgh was Phipps Conservatory. The rest of us were a bit unsure how the kids would do there and if they would have fun, but no one else came up with any ideas, so we decided to try it out. It turned out that they kids really enjoyed it, so it is good that Chad convinced us all to go there! Also, thanks to Aunt Kathi for coming with us! It was really nice to get to spend some time with her!
One of the things that Chad wanted to do as soon as he heard that we were going to Pittsburgh was to take the kids to the Carnegie Science Center. Chad and I both had fond memories of going there when we were younger and knew that the kids would have a blast. So the day after GG Osborn's funeral, we went to the Science Center along with Papa Mazak.

Lucas was a trooper and enjoyed just looking around at everything going on.

The kids were really excited to see Heinz Field, where the Steelers play, right next to the Science Center. Ever since we were there, the kids are REALLY excited when they see the Science Center or an outdoor shot of Heinz Field during the Steelers games.
While we were in Pittsburgh, we stayed with Chad's grandparents. It was really nice to see them and to introduce them to Lucas. It happened that Alan, Gaoder, and Raina had been in Pittsburgh about 2 weeks before us, so within a very short time, GG and Papa Mazak got to see all of their great-grandchildren, which they loved!
Poor Lucas always has his brother and sister in his face. They love him, but they just can't seem to help themselves and they always want to be very close to him.
Lucas loved Papa! We joked it was because they have similar hairstyles. :)
One of many great breakfasts that we got while we were staying at GG and Papa's house.
While we were at the Mazaks, there was a little get together so that all the extended family in Pittsburgh could come over to see us. While we were getting ready, GG found some balloons. Cecilia figured out how to attach "strings" to the balloons (really the strips off of old matrix printer paper) and then both kids had a blast playing with the balloons (along with Thomas, one of their cousins, while he was there).
Lucas wasn't sure what to think of everything going on...
