Pittsburgh trip July 2012

Family vacation in July 2012 First stop in NJ to pickup Tram and BaoAn on Monday 7/2. BaoAn now talked alot, we asked Ba dau roi, BAn tra? lo*i "Ba di lam kiem tien nuoi con, mat tieu roi" Tuesday 7/3 AM: departed for Pitts...Stop at khoai M (that's what BAn called for McDonald) for play at Carslide's stop. After that when straight thru the mountain tunnel and all the kids were excited and said "do^". Got stuck for traffic on route 51 "non moving" for an hour and we decided to take another route...Thanks to the GPS. Arrived in the evening and enjoyed Pho*? do co^ Sau' na^'u. Wed 7/4: Visit Grandpa at the rehab center...very excited to see kids played around grandpa. Took some pics for memory. After that went to Wave Pool and QN was really enjoyed it. Soaked wet under the hot sun and played with the waves...he was a little scare though and need to hang on daddy. After that we went to Dinh's house (Qui's friend) for 4th of July party. It was fun to see alot of people in the lot with lots of food. There was fireworks lit up afterward. BAn was scare and wanted to go home. Thurs: Went to Chuck Cheese and had a good time there too. Took CC pics and play lots of game. QN now knew to take coins to go to the machine and play. Fri: Went to IdleWild (we called ai ddo*` wa`". There was a show of Thomas the Train and the kids enjoyed it. Took some pics with the cast members. Somehow we took a scary drive, and QN scared and yelled "everybody", he felt embarrassed and didn't want to hear back. Went to the Soak area and enjoyed water cannon splashed, big bucket dump, wave pool, and finally water side...this play was fun and QN went on the high slide. Sat: Went and bought king crab legs at Restaurant depot and there were a lot of meats in there. Sun: Visit Grandpa and said good bye. Grandma stayed back for a few months to take care of Grandpa. Thx to Bac Hai va co Sau' for taking care of us. It was funny that when we finally go back to CT, BAn still wanted to go with us. He sat in the van and refused to get out. When his mom tricked him to swap seat, and be^' him out of the van, he cried and fought back hard...Even when carried into the house, he ran out and being chased after by mom...thay cung de^ thuong thiet. This kid was quite a story teller.
