The second grade is performing Stone Soup as the school play this year. Piper had a speaking part and a singing part. It was a very cute play with a great message of sharing.

We spent the afternoon with Grandma, Grandpa, Rebecca and Mr. Will. Aunt Becca will be out of town on her birthday and Thanksgiving so Mr. Will got her a cake in the shape of a turkey. It was so cute! It was nice we could all be there to help her celebrate! 
We spent another gorgeous afternoon at the Huntington Gardens. Each time we go we explore a new area that we haven’t seen in awhile. Today we found a little bit of Fall. They also had a special event called Barks and Books where kids can read to dogs. Piper read to a cutie named Ernie. 
Andrew is learning about animals this month at school.
We are finally experiencing Fall like weather. It’s been wonderful!
On Monday we went to the Huntington (again!) to roam around. It was cloudy and even sprinkled a bit while we were eating lunch. Probably not the best day to see the gardens but the kids had fun!
