trip to FL

As everyone can gather, taking care of triplets can be stressful. BUT FLYING with triplets takes it to a whole new level!

Daddy had a meeting in Lakeland, FL this past Friday, so we all flew down on Thurs, and then back home to Charlottesville on Sat. The trio did great! They had to each take off their socks and shoes and walk through security....had to cram into 3 seat positions on the flight down there (Lou and I each "held" one and we had a seat for the third)...and had to be as patient as a child could ever be getting through the airport, car rental, and into the hotel. Again, they did fantastic!

I spent Friday alone with the trio and took them to a few neighborhood parks along with lunch at Moes. (see below blurry picture.) This was a milestone for me since I have never taken them out to eat lunch by myself...let alone in an unfamilar town....

We had few meltdowns....but very, very tired babies that tried their hardest to keep themselves going longer than the enegizer bunny!

Now we need another vaction to re-coop from physically handling all the luggage (imagine carrying 3 car seats through the airport onto the plane!) and mentally keeping up with three toddlers!
