Kate Turned 3!

Last weekend Kate turned 3 and we celebrated by taking her hiking with friends. Not just any kind of hiking, but hiking up Candy Mountain (otherwise called Franklin Falls). As Kate, Willow, Hadley, and Aiden hiked up the trail they discovered candy that grew on the mountain. They were of course prepared with buckets for collecting said candy. They also had festive walking sticks to help them along the "rigorous" 1 mile trail. The kids made it all the way to the thunderous finish of Franklin Falls where our "candy growers" were waiting patiently. Thanks Turner Family! We weren't done yet, the promise of Bento boxed lunches lured them back on the trail to head back to the cars. Here is a recap of the morning:



All of this fun was preceded by getting a bike from Gigi, Papa Scott, and Aunt Skyann in the morning. Scott and Kate went to Kate's first theater movie: Shrek in 3D at the Imax, she LOVED it! We capped off the day with dinner with the Bennitt's and some more presents. And cupcakes of course. The hike was the following morning. Whew, what a great birthday weekend!
