Visiting the Colaizzi Cousins, May 2012

Gemma and I headed to Pittsburgh last week to pick up a dear friend of ours who came to the Midwest to visit, and while we were there, we had a visit with the Colaizzi cousins.  We all went to Soergel's Family Orchard, where the kids enjoyed a petting zoo, ice cream, and a fabulous playground.  We were also lucky enough to be in town for Celia's pre-school graduation!  Way to go Celia.  We had a blast.  Some pictures of our trip are below.

Soergel's has homemade apple cider

...and a toy store with all of the Melissa and Doug toys.

We put the kids in jail

A perfect place to stash your ice-cream until you're ready to eat it

Giovanni tried on Gemma's glasses for size.  He looks mighty nice in them, no?

Our little graduate!
