Father's Day Weekend

I know, I'm kind of working backwards, but I've been busy with work and enjoying my summer with Kate, so I'm trying to get caught up! We had a great Father's Day weekend. On Saturday, it was absolutely gorgeous out, so we went to the zoo. Kate loved seeing the lion and the lion cub; she got so excited. But her absolute favorite part was the play area and the carousel, of course. We rode the carousel first, then went to the play area. She went down this huge red slide (Dan put her down, and I caught her), and even though it was way bigger than any slide she had ever gone down, she was laughing the whole way (it was a tube slide, so I just kept hearing her adorable laugh echoing through the tube as she slid down).

Afterwards, we ate at The Laurel, one of my favorite places downtown. Then on Sunday, we went to the Jet Room with Tracy, Rori and my grandparents (Dan H. and Kirsti were both working, obviously). I can't believe this is Dan's second Father's Day as a dad (well, his third if you count the Father's Day when I was newly pregnant, which I, of course, did.)

Help! I'm stuck in this blasted thing!


Such a good climber!

She looks tired; you can tell it's near naptime!
