Spring Fever!

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine gave me this hand-me-down triple jogging stroller and we have enjoyed taking it on several walks since then. The babies have more leg room, they all have a better view and it is much easier for me to push. The weather has been so nice and we have really enjoyed getting out more. I just wish this wide load would fit through more doors and be easier to maneuver in stores etc. With the weather getting nicer, I am starting to get out on a pretty regular basis.

Me and the trio went to the mall with a friend last week and had a great time. We ate lunch in the food court and had several people comment about how well behaved they are which made Mommy feel good! Then, we walked around and shopped some and the babies did really well. Oh and I got stuck in the elevator a couple of times - that long triple stroller is so long, I got wedged in the elevator a couple of times and had to have my friend help me get out. She was my elevator helper and door holder opener during our outing. :) I guess there is no way to get around the "easy maneuvering" whether I have an extra long stroller or an extra wide stroller.

Malls seem to be easier for me because I don't have to load and unload the babies in and out of the car numerous times to go to different stores. So, I am going to venture to a different mall with another friend later this week - hopefully the day will be just as fun as the last trip to the mall. Oh... and if my memory serves me correctly, this was their first "real" trip to the mall. They have been before but we just ran in to Sears or JC Penney to look for one thing, then left. Can you believe that? They are over a year old and just now went on their first shopping trip!

Oh goodness, I can only imagine! Pushing my double stroller around places wears me out and is hard to maneuver, much less a triple!

wow - that is a crazy stroller!

I get her some tiny alligator clips at Kid to Kid consignment... and my friend also makes her some that non-slip grip liner on a roll that you can put on the bottom of shelves... and she cuts out a little bit and glues it in the straight metal clips and that keeps them in!

I actually already have! Well... minus the hills, but I have battled the wind and some minor winds in my first walk which was about a 2 1/2 mile walk. That beast is actually easier to push than my triple stroller with the small wheels.
