Fall Leaves

The kids dove right into nature study today (literally!). They played in the leaves for hours. In the bath afterwards, McKenna was identifying the leaves as she pulled them out of her hair. "That one is a sassafras....., etc." It took us at least 30 minutes to get all of the leaves out of their hair!

Panther Football Game

We went to the Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Redskins game on Nov. 11. It was a great game and the Panthers ended up pulling off a win after a stressful game!

We have arrived at the Stadium!

Beach Trip

We went to Hilton Head for a week this year. After studying about sea animals last year, we were able to see the beach with a whole new perspective.

We found tons of horseshoe crabs! There had been a big storm out at sea before we got there and so much was washed up on shore. There were hundreds of bivalves the first day all bunched together (when I didn't have my camera!), but they weren't there the rest of the week.
