This past Tuesday after breakfast I decided we needed to do something fun so we packed up and headed to Colonial Williamsburg. We got there around 12PM and stayed until 3:30PM. We saw the horses, toured the palace (which the kids loved), saw how they made chocolate back then, how they made wheels, and we walked a lot!

There is definitely a lot of walking involved with Colonial Williamsburg but the kids love it. Liam finally started saying "My legs hurt!" And Alanna fell asleep in the stroller so I knew it was time to head home.
When we got close to our van, a lady was walking near us. This is the conversation we had.
Lady: "Oh wow you have your hands full! I feel for you!"
Me: "Yes, my hands are full of blessings! and we have one on the way!"
Lady: "Oh wow well I guess you don't get bored."
Me: No, I don't get bored. Life is really boring without my kids around."
Lady: Well my kids are grown and I have one grandson. Good luck." (in a not so excited voice)
It really makes me sad when people say things like this to me about my children. I don't understand why people think they have the right to say such negative things about my kids. Children are always a blessing...whether you have 3 kids or 19 kids.
Anyways...rant over. It was a really really fun day. We still have so much to see there. I'm so thankful we were able to get season passes for such a great deal this year. Home-school teachers get half off season tickets and they also messed up on the price they quoted me for Ruy's season pass so I got $5 off his pass. If you've never been to Colonial Williamsburg but live near it, I highly recommend taking your kids. It's a blast :)
(It's way too complicated getting three kids to look at you at the same time. It's much easier to just get natural candid shots!)
