Kate turned 3 on July 1st. We celebrated by having family and friends to the zoo that morning to ride the carousel and zoo train. We rode the rides and enjoyed the lion and butterfly exhibits before heading home to the party. Mimi and Nanny had decorated the house with balloons and streamers - and had a beautiful carousel cake on the table. Kate couldn't wait to blow her candles out. She put them on the cake - all by herself - and blew them out with a little help from Mom. A good time was had by all. We enjoyed our family visit from cousin Lola, Katherine, Tom, Mimi, Lester, Carole, Holly, Cece, and Aunt Betty. At the zoo Laura Herren asked Kate, "Are you three today?" To which Kate replied, "No. (pause) Yes...Yes. I am three today!"
