We really can’t belive that Katie is now 8. We were in Montreat for her birthday (not the first time she has celebrated her bday in Montreat!). What a great day. After opening gifts (restaurant order forms, new pens and pencils (with her name on them!) and a guitar!) we hiked Lookout Mountain. This was Katie’s first time and she did great! The plan was to go swimming after but the pool was closed (darn chemicals!) so we did some rock-hopping, enjoyed some ice cream at the Huck and then went to Mellow Mushroom for pizza. Here are some pictures – enjoy!

Hannah Montana watch out!

May I take your order?
