Take me out to the ballgame!

Well, Saturday night we took the kids to their first sporting event. My multiples club had the corral area so there were a lot of moms with twins and triplets (none of the quads moms made it out). The kids were really excited. We didn't bring the stroller but rather used our "leashes" for the kids. We got out of the car, got everyone hooked up and started walking to the stadium. We got a lot of laughs, stares and even "where'd you get those?" along the way, but hey, at least I knew where my kids were and that they weren't going to dart in front of traffic!
We walked around the stadium a bit hoping to get all their "wiggles" out so we could sit and watch the game. What were we thinking?!? I think we sat in our seats for 5 minutes and then had to get up and walk around. John took off with Abby, while I hung out with Jake. John said Abby was on a mission. She started walking around the stadium and didn't stop till she made it all the way around. She would stop however, when people clapped for a play. She'd stop, turn to the game, and clap away. When everyone was done, she'd start walking again.
Jake and I just hung out near the playground. He'd walk over to the big lights though, and look up in amazement. He loved those things!
We didn't really catch much of the game and left about half way through, but I thought that was good for us. We had a really fun time and overall the kids did really well. They just aren't up for sitting in their seats for very long yet.

I think I may need to get some of those harnesses. Mine will hold my hand and follow me most of the time but it scares me to take them out in crowded places.

We just did a Rangers game w/Audrey last night, and she actually did really well. Luckily, we were able to sit with several seats to ourselves in a row, so she climbed and walked all in that area. But, too funny, just like Abby, she had to stop whatever she was doing and clap right along with everyone when they applauded!
