It was quite an adventure &#8211; standing in line for almost an hour with 500+ other people waiting for the store to open so we could get the coveted &#8216;free t-shirt&#8217;.</p> <p>We had the kids dressed in their &#8220;I void warrantees&#8221; t-shirts, while Lorna and I also wore geek-appropriate shirts. There were plenty of photos taken&#8230; some by the Apple employees themselves&#8230; I&#8217;m watching Flickr to see if any get posted.</p> <p>One of the fun things about being a parent of multiples is the instant kinship you find with other multiple parents. Walking back to our car, we met a mother of 1 year old twins who had all kinds of questions for us about sleep habits, eating, etc. It reminded me of the time we met a mother of triplets a year older than ours at a big-box store&#8230; We had a ton of questions for her too.</p> <p>One note of system maintenance &#8211; the website might be down for a few hours this next week as I shuffle some technical resources around. I&#8217;m reorganizing and have a plan to make this blog a little better.</p> Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:28:00 -0400 urn:uuid:af11a864-bfe9-4fad-bb2a-9d3dae355be3 David Bock http://www.bocktriplets.org/articles/2009/08/15/apple-store-opening
