Choo Choo Wagon Farewell - Part 1

This past week included another milestone for us......a sad one.......saying goodbye to our Choo Choo Wagon. Yes, I am being a bit dramatic about a little wagon but it was such a huge part of our lives for the last 3 years; it was super sad to see it go. We took it EVERYWHERE: daily walks to the neighborhood park, the zoo, the mall, Trick or Treating, Target, grocery store, church for women's Bible study (in their earlier years), State Fair, pretty much anywhere instead of a stroller. It was quick and easy to transport 3 little munchkins and it helped keep them "together" when out in public. We sure did manage to get ALOT of attention whenever we were out and about with it; sometimes more than we cared for. We decided it was probably time to pass it along to another triplet family to start their own fond memories. When Dylan came out into the garage the day after I passed it along to the other family, Dylan said, "Hey mom, where's our wheels?" They noticed right away it was gone and there were some sad faces, BUT, we are on to the next chapter........riding bikes to the playground/around the neighborhood and walking when out in public which has gotten much easier now that they fully understand if they leave our sides, there are some serious repercussions.I went back into the photo archives and picked out a few photos of some fun times we had with it:
