Katie's friend encouraged her to join the Stem Club that was offered the first week of summer, so Katie decided to join - not so much because she was interested, but because she wanted to be a good friend. One day of that camp included going on a field trip to some caves in the area. The caves were very dark, so they had to wear head lamps as they walked through. Even though Katie will tell you she's not much of an outdoor girl, she had fun.
It's hard to believe it's time to say good-bye to 7th grade.
Katie is always the cats' favorite. When Gilbert and Wilson visit her, they always get very, very close.
A very popular bookstore near us was having a warehouse sale. Of course Katie was interested. Jennifer took Katie and they ended up waiting in an almost four hour line. They both said after it was over that it wasn't worth the wait, but it's a memory they will always share. They took photos to document their progress.
Katie also got a "Gotcha Day" gift from Garyldine, Jim, and Aunt Jody.
I try to get Katie something little on each Gotcha Day.
This is the anniversary of the first day we met Katie face-to-face.
