schenley park

schenley has quickly become our new favorite weekend hang out spot! we just cannot seem to get enough. even when it gets cold, schenley will be the place to go. they have one of the best out door ice skating rinks around here! we can also go watch hockey games there. it will be nice because they have big heaters set up on the hill over looking the rink, so you can keep warm when jack frost comes to town.

here are some pics from last weekends picnic/ disc golf/ play/ study afternoon:



from our favorite spot, you can see the skyline of downtown.











another shot where you can see downtown on the left of the pic and oakland (u pitt's neighborhood) on the right.






this is u pitt's most famous building, the cathedral of learning. you can see this place from pretty much anywhere in pittsburgh. i have only been in it once... only because i was lost, haha. i would like a tour. the classrooms all have themes and are supposedly remarkable.









this play place is for big kids! there are a number of these throughout the park. the one we were playing on was not very fancy, so no kids usually play on it. james was brave enough to show our claim on the territory! when i went to grab my camera i could hear other park goers saying, "what is that guy going to do up there?" hahaha it looks like jon is trying to be dangerous as well by choking himself on the swing.







vanessa and i chose the simultaneous slide.... wheeeeeee!





guess what!!?? it is 42 here this morning! burrrrr!
