It's true, 250 years old! The city has been celebrating on all fronts all year long, with robots galleries, and concerts. This weekend, we celebrated with the city's biggest ever fireworks display. For a city that shoots off fireworks regularly after baseball games (for the Pirates no less), you can imagine this was a big to-do. We took some hot cocoa and friends to a hill overlooking downtown in the park and watched fireworks launched from boats, bridges and buildings for almost 45 minutes! It was a great display, and we didn't get caught in traffic, since we walked.
We also swung by the zoo to check on the TWO baby elephants. For 300-lb tubbos, they are cute as can be. One of the little ones seems to be teething, she was rubbing her lips on the bars of her enclosure, and also had hand in the shovel incident. Matt and I went to the zoo just to see these guys, so we were hanging out while a care-taker came to muck the stall. When he took the wheelbarrow away, he left a shovel, which the elephants promptly disassembled to its component parts, and each had a bit to chew on. The little one got the plasticy end, her mom had the whole handle- which she chewed like a toothpick- and their roommate kicked around the metal part until the zoo-keeper came back. He walked into a room of guilty looking elephants and took away all their toys. He was smirking.
