Kate took a dance class! She actually didn't love it as much as we thought she would...she'd get really bored and have a hard time following all the instructions -- it was much more fun to run around and play! We never actually finished a class all the way because she kept reaching her warning limit...But she sure looked cute! :)
In early May we had some family photos taken so we could update our adoption profile...plus it's been a while since we had any taken! This was one of our favorites...but we actually got quite a few good shots! After rescheduling 3 times due to weather, we finally got a gorgeous afternoon.
Kate and I took a trip to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point...I had never seen the gardens, let alone the thousands of gorgeous tulips! It was beautiful! On our way in to the festival, we ran into my friend Brooke and her family, and they were kind enough to let us tag along with them. It was a fun day...I think we'll go again next year!
And then, after a year-long delay, U2 was finally here! We had general admission tickets and I was a little bit worried about where we'd end up...but we managed to get in to the inner circle between the stage and the catwalk. It was awesome!! The Fray was the opening act and we really enjoyed their performance...but the U2 concert was fantastic. We were so close! They had these bridges that would rotate around from the stage...here's a photo of Bono crossing over:
It's hard to believe how long they've been around...but their concerts still rock and their music is still great and they always promote such a great message of peace and love...it's fun to be a part of it all! Here's a cool shot of The Edge and Adam jamming together:
Kate always wants to fly a kite, so on Memorial Day we tried out our new bird Kite. After Will and I tried a few times unsuccessfully to get it in the air, Kate took a turn and got it right up there! She was really excited.
Kate had her first real dentist appointment in June and did so great! She wasn't nervous, let the hygienist and the dentist do their work, and had a perfectly healthy mouth. I'm pretty sure that she's getting too big now...she can slow down a bit. :)
We went to Hogle Zoo to check out the new dinosaur exhibit...very cool, by the way! Kate was more interested in the dinosaurs (and the playground) than she was in the animals this time. We had fun...and hope to do lots more fun stuff this summer!
