Our last stop was in Pittsburgh, PA. We decided to take in a Pirates game. It was a really nice stadium, we walked over the bridge to get there and Andrew and Ally posed in front of Roberto Clemente's statue. WE got great seats for SO MUCH cheaper than they would have cost at Yankee Stadium!! And the best part was
the foul ball Rob snagged at the bottom of the 9th inning!! Andrew certainly had a big smile after that (even though the pirates lost...no surprise!) After the game we walked down to the dugout and ANdrew quickly spotted all the sunflower seeds all over the floor!! Needless to say, it was a nice way to end the night!
awesome! when I was in middle school we actually had to participate in "Read for Roberto" to raise money for the statue and getting our school's name on part of some monument down there (I can't really remember all the details!) But pretty cool to see Ally and Andrew have a picture with it! Glad you guys enjoyed the game, even though the Pirates lost which like you said unfortunately isn't a big surprise. We can't win them all!!! ha ha ha!!!

That is so funny Tracey...Andrew and Ally will be excited to hear that you actually helped get that statue there!! Andrew's now reading a book about Roberto CLemente, no doubt inspired by the game and statue...so some good came out of it!! lol! We did love the stadium..and so much less expensive then Yankee Stadium!!
