The Waltons At 30!

At the start of the Easter bank holiday I watched the documentary the Waltons at 30, which caught up with the Worlds only all girl sextuplets as they reached a milestone birthday. I grew up watching the Waltons annual documentaries and found it fascinating, I used to think imagine being one of them and having five sisters all the same age as you? So it was nice to catch up with how the girls are getting on as adults. There was a lot of people saying on twitter and Facebook that it was strange that none of them had got married and had children but in the day and age where celebrities get married and divorced within months, I think it's nice to see young women taking their time to build their own lives. None of them has rushed into marriage and subsequently divorced leaving children and trails of destruction behind them in it's wake like so many these days, nor had any of them tried to use their notoriety to cash in and make easy money. The girls seem as lovely as their parents and I felt encouraged by the stable upbringing they have had, you could clearly see there's still a lot of love in that family. It was great to see as well that they still continue to raise money for the hospital that looked after the girls as babies, the amazing gift they were given has not been forgotten by them. It would be brilliant to see some more documentaries about the girls adult lives in tne future.
