Bye Bye October!

Robert LaSalle Park

WOW! What a wonderful October this has been. I certainly have enjoyed the fall colors and warmer than usual weather. My husband and I took a jaunt to Door County a few weeks back and found a beautiful park just north of Algoma off of county road  U. It's called Robert LaSalle Park. I highly reccomend it to you. There is an upper and lower section to the park. The lower section is right on Lake Michigan with picnic tables and a play area for the kids. After lunch we continued north through Sturgeon Bay to Jacksonport for a fish boil dinner. If you have never taken your family to Door County nor eaten a fish boil I urge you to do it next summer/fall. After all this is part of the history of Wisconsin. I am always amazed and saddend when my students tell me they have never seen, let alone stood on the shores of Lake Michigan.  I have included a few pictures here to tempt you....

Welcome October!

Happy first day of October! Today is the Feast day of St. Theresa, the Little Flower of Jesus. Tuesday, the fourth, is the Feast of St. Francis.

We  received letters from our pen pals in Evening Shade, Arkansas, this week. The children have written back to them and they have exchanged pictures as well.

It's a girl!!!!! Our monarch butterfly came out of its chryssalis last week. Apparently if you look at the bottom of the wings there are 2 white spots that appear if the butterfly is a boy. Our butterfly had no spots in that area so it is a girl. In this picture the butterfly is held by Janelle. The butterfly was only 5 minutes old when this pic was taken.
