We have been enjoying the preview of fall weather around here and it's nice to get the kids outside a little more than when it was almost too hot to be out although I'm not sure we are through with the really hot weather yet but I shouldn't complain because I'm dreading being cooped up during winter time.
Anyway, we have had a busy end of summer it seems like. We took the kids to the Ft. Wayne Children's zoo at the beginning of Aug. Grandpa and Grandma Hug were nice enough to go along and help. The kids did ok but Brody still doesn't really have the patience for outings but I think his favorite part of the day was the picnic lunch and getting to run around a little. The boys did pretty good on the pony rides but Brea was a little scared and I ended up holding her for the last half of the walk. Her favorite part of the day was the gift shop and picking up all the stuffed animals and poor Gage was so tired from the activities he fell asleep in the choo choo wagon and had to be carried out to the car still asleep.
Since the zoo we took a trip shoe shopping at stride rite for some new shoes for fall to fit their wide little feet and also had a photo shoot. I admit I was quite nervous for both of those occasions things but the kids did awesome. Although we didn't get a ton of smiles in the pictures..we did get some where all three were looking at the camera and they weren't running off which was my biggest concerns. We decided at the end of the session to try and get a family picture and I wasn't optimistic since the kids were getting tired of pictures but we got one that turned out great. So glad we took them!
Some other things the kids have been up to are going over to Grandma and Grandpa Recker's to play with them and lookat the cows and kittens, riding their golf cart, playing with Grandma and Grandpa Hug and going to their house for a cookout and to see their dog and cat, playing with the neighbor's cat that comes over to play sometimes, recent playdate with twins that are about the same age and of course wagon rides.
I have posted some of the recent pictures below.

Triplet and Twins playdate
We had a nice visit with some of our friends that have twin boys that are 3 months younger than our trio. It was cute to see the kids play with others so close in age. Here are a couple of pictures we took.

The elusive Choo Choo wagon
I'm sure most people don't get what the big deal is about this wagon but it's all the rage in the world of multiple parents for a couple of reasons: First it seems to be set up well for both parents and kids as it has cup holders for the kids, they each have their own separate car to ride in (which means they have their own space and it cuts down on the kicking and picking on each other) and it actually is pretty easy to pull and you can take apart the last car to fit in the vehicle. BUT maybe the bigger reason this wagon is such a big deal is the fact that they have not been making it anymore which makes the used ones in very high demand. I had been looking on ebay and Craigslist and some of the prices were pretty crazy especially if you had to include shipping. Luckily we found a mom in Delaware, Oh who was ready to part with hers and Jeff went to pick it up last weekend. Can't believe how excited I got over a wagon but the kids really seem to love it and I am hoping it will work well for us for quite some time to come when we take them out. I have posted pictures below of them crusin in the neighborhood.
