To the Park

After our 4th of July weekend, I took the kids to my brother's house for a few days so they could play with Dane and Hayden. Our big outing was to a local park, which was fabulous.

There was a little train, which both three-year-olds were very excited about (don't let their faces fool you):

There was a playground just for toddlers:

(Notice the train in the background)

There was a boat ride that kids go on without adults (whoa). CC and Dane were the only ones to ride in the boats, because there's no way Little Man or Sweet Pea would do it without me. Or stay seated. Or resist the urge to fling themselves in the water.

Planning their boating strategy

And there was a gorgeous restored 1911 carousel. CC was still riding high on her carousel success from last week, but she was a little nervous when she realized that this carousel only had big animals to ride. So she insisted I stand next to her the whole time, holding on to her. "Two hands, Mommy. Two hands!!"

"Yee haw!!"

Despite all this, the highlight of the trip was the ice cream at the end. (Little Man and Sweet Pea shared one, which is why he isn't holding one. Don't worry -- he wasn't deprived!)

While the big kids took a potty break with Aunt Susan, I sat with the little ones on the bench. In less than five minutes, I had four people stop and say, "Oh my gosh! Triplets!" Can you blame them?!
