Today we said buh-bye to our Choo Choo Wagon.
We got this when the babies were about one year old. It truly is a staple in the life of triplet families. It's just perfect for trucking around your trio. It gives them their own space, it's fun, and it makes perfect strangers feel that they can pry into your personal life! (Just kidding - we almost always get only NICE comments and I love people telling me how cute our kids are)!
But... babies grow! And pulling 100+ pounds of kid and wagon up the colossal hills of Worlds of Fun and the Kansas City Zoo is backbreaking. And for gosh's sake, do I really need that kind of work-out? I'm wasting away to nothing! (hahahahahahahahahahahahaha).
Shane gave the kids one last game of "blast-off."
We still used the wagon to to go the pool. But pool season is coming to an end. As are Worlds of Fun and Zoo season. Then there's winter and by the time we're ready to use it again, they're 4 1/2 and plenty old enough to just walk. And even heavier. So there. I've rationalized it. Now I can cry!

The end of an era

Oh, this makes me want to cry! Ours is just collecting dust in the garage, but I haven't the heart to sell it quite yet. By far my most favorite piece of triplet equipment! I keep reminding myself, "Don't cry because it's over; be happy that it happened." So, keep that in mind along with all the wonderful choo choo memories!
Sobbed like a baby when we got rid of our Runabout. That was FREEDOM for nearly four years!!
Love the sad face picture. :)

LOVE that picture! Fab.u.lous!!!
I (heart) my choo choo. Can't do it yet. It woudl be like putting down a member of the family.
Yay Laney!! It's sad, but you'll love the freedom of not trying to decide whether or not to bring it somewhere and just think of how thrilled another triplet family is going to be when they can buy yours!
Awww I'll miss seeing you get all the attention while hauling that thing around at the zoo and WOF, haha. It did get lots of cute attention. It must feel like you are missing an appendage the first few times out without it. Oh well that one arm was getting freakishly muscley, you really should have switched it up more, haha J/K!!
Gee, can you ship it to Massachusetts? I think that's what this family needs!
Thank for posting on my blog. You kids are adorable. And I am not looking forward to getting rid of our choo choo wagon either. We don't use it as often as others do, but it's do darn cute!
Oh, this makes me sad for you! (And I'm not even a multiple mom). So cute to see them all a little sad to get rid of such a cherished piece of transportation.
I'm crying we are not that far behind you and I can't imagine life without it. I get the whole heavy kid thing since we have an extra car on ours. Really good workout!!!
