fiesta!

that's mexican for party. we'll cover both parts of that statement.

the first part is the party

on saturday, we traveled to the 'Burgh to hit up South Park for Olivia & Will's birthday party. i must honestly say that i've never seen that many kids under the age of 4. ever. it was absolute pandemonium. well, not really as I just stood around and chatted with folks, while kids ate cake and opened presents.





you know what they say. one man's cake is... another man's cake?

anyway, with some liquid libations, we had such child demeaning activities such as slide races - Sarah lost:

Kids v. Adults in wrestling. Wes shamed us all by losing to Olivia:



and then Bob decided to take on Will in regular old boxing. Will is seen here wiping up Bob. Literally while Bob's trying to take some cheap shots.



after the fun and festivites, we headed on back North and Abigail wanted to see where the Penguins play - I kid you not. So we swung by Mellon Arena and showed her:

she was impressed. it was cool seeing all the stuff around the arena for cheering the pens on, the big screen for watching all the playoff games as long as their in it - and chances are they are in for the long haul.

we topped off the day before the long and tiring drive by hitting up Mad Mex for dinner. As usual the food there is always good. Erie needs one.



Badly.
