Giveaway: Jump Start Sports Camp

Last year my son had the opportunity to participate in his first summer day camp after we were introduced to Jump Start Sports. Being his first camp, he (and I!) were a little nervous. :) But then we met Coach Jen!

St. Patrick's Day Family Fun at Fifth Avenue Place

I was looking through past pictures of being downtown for St. Patrick's Day and was struck by our NO jacket attire! Do you think we'll be so lucky this year?

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the family and head Downtown for one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parades in the U.S.!  Parade begins at 10:00 a.m.

The 2015 St. Patrick’s Day Parade will feature nearly 200 marching units, including bands, floats, several police, fire and emergency service agencies, along with many groups from Pittsburgh’s Irish and other ethnic communities. Parade begins at the intersection of Liberty and 11th Streets to Grant Street to the Boulevard of the Allies (turns right). Then it goes down Boulevard of the Allies to the Reviewing Stand at Stanwix Street and ends at Commonwealth Place.
Follow the Parade on Twitter http://twitter.com/PghStPatsParade.

Saturday, March 14, 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Following the Parade, bring the whole family to Fifth Avenue Place for family fun from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and show your love o’ the Irish with an afternoon of festive fun.

Enjoy face painting with their cheery leprechaun, crafts with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and be entertained with beautiful melodies by a strolling violinist. Your family will be sure to get into the Irish spirit at Fifth Avenue Place!
