Thank You, Thanksgiving!

Well, the Christmas season is officially here now that Thanksgiving Day is over.  I hope you enjoy these last pictures and video of what was a wonderful autumn season!  The next 3 weeks will fly but before they do look forward to some wonderful Christmas crafts, songs, and activities.

FYI: The Galt House is featuring Kalightoscope this Christmas season.  The Mega Cavern is having Lights Under Louisville again this year.  For some not as exciting fun, you can check out Charlestown's Town Square which has lights synchronized to music starting this weekend.

Falling Leaves, Bushy Tailed Squirrels, and Gobbling Turkeys!

Although Fall will be here for over another month, it seems as if it is almost finished.  Christmas is coming sooner than most of us probably want it to but it's coming none-the-less!  In the meantime we are finishing all of our Fall themed activities, stories, etc.  I hope you are enjoying the fruits of our labor!
