Match Match!

When the triplets were young, they used to always point at matching items and declare, "Match Match!" Today we heard it again when we noticed Pop Pop and Arthur accidentally coordinated their attire.

Tree Climbers

Our kids love climbing trees!

The Go Anywhere Bus

Since our minivan is in the shop, and since no other car we have fits 3 carseats, we had to take the bus today in order to see "How to Train Your Dragon" at the movie theatre. The kids thought the bus was almost as fun as the movie.

Picking Wine Berries

On the road by Nana and Pop Pop's house there are a bunch of wine berry bushes. We love picking the sticky berries in the summer, and every few days trot down to the bushes with our buckets in hand.

But the berry bushes had prickers, and more than one sun hat became trapped.

Chick-Fil-A

Today was cow appreciation day at Chick-fil-a, so the kids dressed up as cows in order to get a free meal.

New Carseat!

We've decided to start upgrading the kids' carseats to booster seats. Betty's the first to get one, and she loves being able to sit like a big kid!

Happy Fourth of July

We got up early and drove out to a blueberry farm.
Even though Pop Pop got stung by a bee, we had a lot of fun.

Afterwards, we went to Smithfield Plantation to see their historic Fourth of July celebration. Arthur and I learned about guns.
We then took a hike and explored an old cemetery.

And since it was such a hot day, we made sure everyone wore their hats.
And this was only the start of our Fourth of July. We then went to see Cars 2 at the movie theatre, had a barbecue, and shot off some fireworks, before heading to bed, exhausted.
