The Ketola Family

We went to the annual Mothers of Multiples picnic in Saline a couple of weekends ago. Every memeber of this group has at least triplets, but some have quads and one has four surviving quints. I belong to the group, but I don't get to attend meetings on a regular basis because they normally don't work into my busy schedule. This was a fun way to get to meet some of the people I've talked with online and see some that I've met in the past. This was the second year we've gone and we always seem to have a nice time...until the kids begin melting down based on no nap. :) This was the clown that did a show with live animals for the kids. Our trip lasted about 10 minutes or so and then it was enough. Josh and I were bummed because we wanted to watch the remainder of it. Our attention span seems to be a bit longer than a 2 year old's. :)
Not a great picture, but it's hard to get pics of them jumping in a bouncy house.

Miss Madelynn looking like a princess. My very talented friend made the hat she has on.

Daddy and the kids on a slide big enough for multiples! None of those around here!

Ready, set, go.....

Unfortunately we missed the group shots because the trio was melting down and we still had to go to my dad's house after the picnic. We opted to get the car nap started ASAP. I'm guessing that there were 15 families in attendance (ages from just a few months old to 12 or 13 I think). Multiply that by triplets and quads and that makes one awesome group shot! Maybe we'll be there for next years picture.
