Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

On Saturday:

April, Ava, Hayley, Emersyn, Nanette and I went to the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium. The place was packed! Hogle Zoo {in Utah} doesn't even see that much traffic in a month {I might be exaggerating that a little}! But seriously, there were lines for every animal and it was hard trying not to step on or bump into other people. Despite that fact we all had a great time! I took quite a bunch of pictures, so here's a few {but of course my battery died, and didn't get all I wanted of the aquarium, oh well!}:

The Duquesne Inclines . . .

Since the boys & Rachel works knocking doors 6 days a week they don't have time for much play and since Sunday is the only off, the Carters and the Barrus' decided to go on a Sunday drive after church. We went separately but met up later. Basically we took trips to the ghettos of Pittsburgh {I think Casey might have been trying to scare me or make me worry more about him when he's out selling}. But I actually enjoyed it. It was a fun little trip around steep hills and curvy roads and it was actually quite interesting. You don't see many homes like that in Utah that's for sure. There's definitely something to be said about homes that can be purchased for less than $15,000.

After the tour we met up with the Carters and we decided we would catch a ride on "Duke".

The Duquesne Incline:

The Duquesne Incline provides a ride on one of their century-old cable cars and one of the best views of downtown Pittsburgh from up atop Mt. Washington. According to a statement on their website {click here to view} it is ranked the 2nd most beautiful view in America. I gotta tell you it truly is an awesome view and I would definitely have to recommend you put this on your own must-see Pittsburgh to do list!
