Tech Outing

Today we took the triplets to Virginia Tech for a picnic while I gathered up research for my next book. The kids loved playing on the grass with their mom.

But in reality, the outing was really just an excuse to try out our new BOB double stroller. Grandma Toni and Grandpa Carter sent it to us as an early birthday present, and we love it! It has *huge* sunshades that cover every bit of them but their toes, the kids sit in separate seats (to minimize hair-pulling), and it feels like it doesn't weight a thing when we pushed it around. And, we were able to take it into buildings on campus, through elevators, and down small corridors without any difficulty at all. (Some of you may remember the time Erin got the triplet stroller stuck between two doors in one of the restrooms at Tech). It's an amazing improvement over our older model. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!
