My Date with Kate

It all started when Ethan woke up early one Saturday morning this summer and Tim offered to take him on a secret outing to McDonald's.  

Kate heard about it and wanted to go, so she and I decided to have our own secret outing with bananas, donuts, and bikes at our favorite park.  

As the sun rose, we enjoyed our donuts (well, the frosting, anyway):

 Then Kate rode her bike around the long track at least 3 times, which is about 1.5 miles.  As she rode, she sang and sang.  I walked/ran and smiled the entire time.

Next we played on the awesome, huge playground.  Making her laugh on the slide turned into a long game of hide-and-seek.

We sat in the car, finished our donuts, and sang our favorite songs with Kate's Easter CD.  She sat on my lap and we just enjoyed being around each other.

Finally, we went to Bath and Body Works and smelled all the soaps!  What a great summer memory, Kate!
