Raising Multiples: Upstate Multiples Club Fall Party
Checking out the rabbits Our family had fun at the Multiples Club Fall Party! We went to Fisher’s Orchard in Greer, South Carolina. It is a small peach farm with a little barn, farm animals, pumpkins, hayrides and more for families to enjoy.
Karlie having a blast with the rabbits! Karlie loved petting, talking to, and looking at all the rabbits on the farm. She was thrilled to find that they were very soft and enjoyed eating the apple pieces she was feeding them.
Brina tickled pink to have a chance to hand feed the bunny rabbits! Brina has a soft spot for animals and babies. She had a grand time hand feeding all the animals on the farm.
Hand feeding and petting the farm animals. The girls thought it was awesome hand feeding all the farm animals.
Karlie running through the maze with a friend They had a really neat maze that the girls loved. Both girls went through it several times on their own. They enjoyed being able to do it by themselves yet they could still see us!
Brina giggling as she rounded the final corner of the maze! Brina thought it was hilarious she made it through the maze before Karlie the first time.
They got faster every time they did the maze. Both girls coming around the final piece of the maze at the farm.
Hayride through the peach orchard The girls enjoyed the ride through the peach orchard. We saw all kinds of scarecrows, trees, and a giant hay bale spider.
Our two little pumpkins sitting with the pumpkins. Pausing for a moment to snap a picture (much to the girls protest). They thought that we should take home some of the huge pumpkins but since they were $80 or more we decided they were a little out of the family budget.

Karlie getting her hand painted There is just something about being able to get your hand or face painted. The girls had fun getting their hands painted during the party. Karlie got a United States Flag and a Rocket.
Brina getting her hand painted Brina waited for Karlie to finish now she gets to have her hand painted. So much fun! Brina got a rainbow on one hand and a flower on the other hand.
Relaxing on the hay bale outside of the maze Brina and Karlie loved all the scarecrows at this farm and hay bales to sit on.

Raising Twins: Multiples Party at Shipwreck Cove
As I was going back through some of the pictures the last several months I realized I never posted anything about this great event (better late than never right!?). I have the privilege of being a part of the Upstate Mother’s of Multiples Club. It is a great group of Moms and families that have been supportive from the days when I was on bedrest and beyond. Once a season we get together with the families (Moms, Dads, and all the kids) and enjoy some fun activities. Here is a little taste of our adventure at Shipwreck Cove in Duncan, South Carolina:
Karlie ready to go down the slide. The girls love pools, water parks, and the beach (really anything with water, including splashing around in the tub). They had a blast swimming, sliding and tubing at Shipwreck Cove.
Mommy had a blast too! Honestly I am not sure had more fun….the little kids or the big kids! I enjoyed the many trips down the big slides, catching up with friends, floating along on the lazy river and swimming just as much as the girls did.
View from the top of the big slides (part of Shipwreck Cove Waterpark). When we first arrived at the water park it was pretty quiet other than our groups munchkins running and swimming around. As the day got later more people arrived, but we still had a blast.
Karlie going down the big slide all by herself. So proud of the girls for going down the big kid slides. I had a mixture of excitement and sadness to see how much they had grown up over the last few years. It was a wonderful day of memories for the whole family.
Brina going down the red slide again. Glad to see them having a blast at the water park! Brina’s favorite slide was the big red one that was open at the top, but she did try both slides.
Karlie getting sprayed by a water canon while floating on the lazy river. Karlie thought it was hilarious when she got sprayed by the canons as she was floating by. We went around the lazy river several times that day.
Brina waiting to go down the slide. This slide was on the “palm tree island” and a favorite to play on in between going down the big slides and floating along on the lazy river.
Karlie waiting for another turn on the big slides. The slides were a HUGE hit with Karlie girl! She didn’t mind standing in line to go down the slides again and again and again and again.
Brina enjoying the water jets. The water park was really nice. It did surprise us to find out the that water was “salt” water not fresh water.
Having fun in the water. Brina enjoying her time at the water park.
Pausing for a moment to let me take a picture. Glad for those quick pauses to take pictures.
Thankful for a great time playing with my family!
