Wow...my last post was that spring was coming...summer came and went and it really did. As almost everyone else experienced, we had a ton of rain at the beginning of the summer but we still had a great summer - friends of mine from Massachussetts came to visit and helped us kick it off. We took the kids to Hershey park and the Philadelphia Zoo. Included is a picture (#6) of Katherine (front), Carissa (middle), and Danny (back) at the zoo riding a camel.

In July we went to Canada to visit aunts, uncles, and cousins. Katherine did wonderfully in the car. We drove it in two days because it was a solid 16 hour trip plus we brought the two dogs. We had a great place that we rented by the water and it had a cement stairway for the laundry line which Katherine thought was a great stage...included is a little clip of one of her many performances on that stage (video 1)

We just finished up the summer with a trip to Knoebels which is an old time amusement park (kind of like Whalom for those from Mass) and a trip to Sesame Place based on the Sesame Street show. I've included a picture (#5) with her friend Bence on a ride at Knoebels (he's the one who appeared in a clip of them dancing last year at a pool party) and a video (#2) of her at Sesame Street climbing this monster tent thing.

Then today was her first day at school...here's a couple of pictures of her at school. The first one is her with her teacher, the second one is her putting her backpack in her locker, the third one is her pointing to her flower in the garden scene outside her room, and the last one is her with Steve right before she walks into the school.
