Kennywood & Movies



Kennywood & Movies, originally uploaded by christine,.

I went to Kennywood Saturday with my sister, nieces, little sister ,my sister’s fiance and his mother. We had so much fun! I haven’t been to Kennywood with my sister since we were kids. It was nice to spend time with her & ride rides together ? She rode the ride in the photo for the first time with me, It’s called the Thunder Bolt. It’s an old wooden roller coaster with lots of hills, and it happens to be my favorite coaster :) It’s one of those coasters that make a lot of noise and gives you a ride you won’t forget. The best part is, it’s by the Potatoe Patch. They have the worlds most delicious french fries and cheese, well that’s my opinion but if you tried them you might agree.

Sunday Jas, my mother in law, my niece Breanne and my little sister went to Keystone State Park to go swimming. The water was warm and comfortable. I remember going there when i was little, i was terrified of the water lol I would lay right near where the water comes up and let it hit me, but i refused to go in! Eventually i did go in but it took some coaxing haha

Sunday night we went to the dollar show to see Date Night & The Back Up Plan. Both movies were really good :) You seriously cannot get a better deal on movies. It cost us $18 for 2 movies, a large popcorn and two large drinks. The best part is you get one free refill on your drinks and popcorn. I could spend the entire day there watching movies and munching on popcorn. Tuesday’s are a better deal. They have a small drink and a small popcorn for $1 each. I really hope that place is around forever. I would be heartbroken if they closed.

Well I’m getting off here to read for awhile before bed.

Sweet Spring

I really can’t be sure what tree this is because we have so many in our back yard but I’m thinking it’s the blooming peach tree. My brother got it for my momma one year for Mother’s day. I know there’s a peach,apple and pear tree back there so who knows, it sure is beautiful though :) It’s always been a favorite of mine.

Yesterday we spent the day out, we were all over the place. First we went and got lunch, then we ended up about an hour away at my favorite little town to take photos and walk around the park, then we drove around for about another hour looking for our little fruit place. Eventually we found the fruit place and we bought the best tasting pears i have ever had! Omg they are so delicious! We got some flavored honey straws, sweet grapefruit, apples, plums, pears, oranges and honey dew. It was cute, the lady at the fruit place ( i have to figure out the name lol) she asked me what grade i was in! I was like so shocked, because hello I’m 26 years old! When i told her my age and that i was married she was like “OMG you look soooooo young” I told her it was okay because when I’m 50 I’ll still look 30 ;).

After we came home we decided we wanted to go back out so we went and seen The Book Of Eli at the dollar show. It was such a good movie. I would recommenced it to anyone who thought about seeing it. I thought it was “just another the world is ending movie” but it had more to it. The plot i thought was fantastic I won’t give anything away…. So anyway, as you can see it was a pretty eventful day, but very fun and a really nice way for me and Jas to spend time together.

Today on the other hand i was so tired. I woke up late and I’ve been lazy since. It’s so hot today and when it’s hot i get sleepy. Well i gtg Jas and I are supposed to watch “The Box”.

Cameras & Sea Food

I had a good day today :P the pain wasn’t as bad as it has been so i was able to come online today for awhile. I’m selling my Nikon D80 to buy a smaller camera. I have a hard time picking it up when i am hurting bad so i can’t even use it anymore. I might as well try something smaller so i don’t have to give up photography all together. I was thinking of going back to the Canon Xti i had before. Although i would love to keep my D80 the Xti is better then not having anything. The Nikon D40 / 60 is out of the question because the lenses i like won’t AF and i don’t know if having to manual focus all the time would just make my wrists worse. I don’t think it is worth the risk when the Canon lenses AF so i won’t have to worry at all. Damn Nikon for taking the AF motor out :x

We went to Joe’s Crab Shack tonight and man was it delicious! Not only was it yummy but it was cool looking inside and fun. The music was great, the workers were friendly and attentive and the place just looked cool! I loved it there and am looking forward to going back. Their steam pots are to die for.. seriously!

I cannot manage to get myself into Bound South it might be the pain i have been in recently but i think i might just set that one aside and find something new to read. Anyway it’s late and i need some sleep.

hockey and stuff

Wow it has been awhile. I’m so terrible at trying to keep a blog anymore. It is something i want to do but i have to get myself in some sort of routine or else this will just become another site that just exists. I miss doing the book reviews also. I have read some really great books that i have to add to the sidebar.

The Pens are playing tonight and i can’t wait. The Stanely cup finals are sooo nerve racking. I really think this is they’re year :)

Well Jason is calling me and who knows what for but i better go see what he wants. More later…
