Alana had such a good time at this program at Borders, but I'm so mad at myself that I didn't get a photo - she and her friend Camrie were sitting up front and I didn't want to maneuver myself up there to get a shot of them.

Sycamore Hills Garden

Took a tour of this terrific garden. I had bought the ticket at the Westcott Street Fair - it benefits Women Transcending Boundaries, a local interfaith group. Here the kids are feeding the koi.

Birds of Prey show

I didn't take any photos, but we had a wonderful time at the Stone Quarry Art Park, which hosted Talons! "birds of prey experience," with falconer Lorrie Schumacher. We saw 2 owls, a hawk, a falcon and a raven. Fun and interesting. And the weather was great! We stopped at the Cazenovia farmer's market on the way home and got corn and tomatoes and some locally raised beef (it's what for dinner!)

Sukkot

Went to the temple tonight to decorate the sukkah, eat pizza (I brought leftover GF ziti), and attend the shabbat service. These photos are poor quality, but worth posting because it shows how much fun the kids had. Here Caleb is helping hang the paper chain (he's up in the choir loft).


After dinner, Alana was fooling around in the social hall - you can't tell but this is Geo Engel and Noah Satterlee with her.
