Pirate Cruise/Station Square









Our day in Pittsburgh started with a Pirate Cruise on the Gateway Clipper. We boarded the boat around 11:30 and enjoyed some frozen ice. The boat set sail at noon. We did a little sightseeing from the top deck and then came back inside for the Pirates of the Mon show. It was a cute show that offered interaction with the kids, dancing, and singing all while searching for the treasure. Today's show seemed to appeal more to Bryce than Hudson. B liked to dance and even helped clean the floor (part of the show). Hudson started out strong and would swing his arms singing Yo, Ho, Ho, but I think he was getting sleepy so it didn't hold his interest for too long. Half way through the show we decided to take the kids back up to the top deck to distract them for a bit. We went under a bridge that had a train going across it! "Choo, choo" as said by Bryce! Pretty neat! We went back inside just in time to get our treasure! Once the ride was finished we decided to find someplace to eat at Station Square. While we were waiting for our table (which was going to be about 25 minutes) we took the boys to see the fountain. They loved it! They especially loved getting soaked by it! They made a little friend who was equally as happy to be getting sprayed by the water, so we let them have their fun! Needless to say, we stripped the boys down, cancelled our table and headed home. All I can say is Thank Goodness for Curb Side pickup :) Another fun day for the Lashers! While we might wait until the boys are a little older for another pirate show to hold their attention during the duration, we cannot wait to return to Station Square's fountain. This time we will be sure to carry a spare set of dry clothes!!
