Madison Star Smith is 7 TODAY!!!

Well, it's here. The big day that she's been counting down to for months. . . .Madison is 7 years old. We had an awesome day together. We started with blueberry muffins and presents--super fun. Then we made it to the train station to catch the 9:07 train to the ZOO! This was our first train experience together, and Madison and Jackson BOTH thought it was awesome! We got to the zoo just as the exhibits were opening--it was perfectly un-crowded.
