PA part 9 - Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy was not too severe in our part of PA, but it did change our trip in a few minor ways. Halloween was supposed to be on Wednesday but they moved it to Saturday, so instead of spending the week in Pittsburgh, we went back to Clarion. Andy spent most of the daylight hours hunting deer, so here are some pictures of Van and my adventures during the week.

Sometimes it was necessary to get out of the house early, like when Van wanted to pretend to be a firetruck at 7AM. Here we are at the coffee shop having a bagel and cinnamon roll.

This is the parking lot of the Pittsburgh Zoo on Wednesday. We drove down for an adventure and had the whole place to ourselves. It was amazing!

Van and his large leaf

I love the way the exhibits are set up here. This was a pool of water full of sting rays and there was a tunnel in the back corner where you could crawl next to and underneath the water. There was a larger tank of water with sharks and you could walk through a tunnel underneath it, but pictures are limited since my phone battery was low.

My rainy days sewing project. A dress and bloomers for baby Esther! This was so fun to make. Ruffles ruffles everywhere. :)
