A walk to the park

This little play date took hours to put together! Six kids - even though Lindsey didn't join us she had to be taken care of, too. By the time we actually got to the park, it was about time to head back! They got to play a bit while we took turns helping anyone and everyone. Two on five! Or should I say five on two! At one point Ali joined in and picked up Amanda and helped her on a swing! I didn't know she could carry Amanda! (Yup, that's a picture of the back of our new car.) Wendy and I joked that we should take a picture with our chariots and our husbands could stand next to our blue SUVs! We also have matching plates and silverware, but you don't need to know that! Oh, and did anyone notice the similarities in our Christmas cards? We didn't plan any of this. Really! (Note to self: next time don't stand in front of our messy garage for any pictures!)

  4. Emily, well they didn't get to stroll right next to each other for that much of the walk because our streets here aren't that safe! But, yes Ali did pass some snacks over to the next stroller that way!

  5. oh yeah, we DO have matching strollers! i forgot. anyway, that's b/c we totally copied them.

    i was thinking you meant jogging strollers. and i thought---yeah we probably do have a couple of matching rusted old jogging strollers in the garage somewhere. ha! but no one in their right minds would be outside strolling around in this weather anyway. :D

  10. Those are the chariot jogging strollers. They are great because you can attach them to bikes and a whole bunch of other things. Pull it through the snow, etc.
    Yeah, Mazda CX9.
