We are about to continue our journey through the United States with a tour of the Southeast states. Before we do, however, let's highlight some of the activities we did to celebrate Northeast culture.
* We hiked the trails at Newbridge to learn more about our deciduous forest biome, identify and classify leaves, and enjoy the fall foliage.

| Sam and Michael enjoying the trails... |
 |
| Intrepid explorers! |
 |
| Sophie on the hunt for the elusive Sassafras tree. |
 |
| Eve has collected oak, maple, and birch tree leaves! |
 |
| Eden and Masha work together to identify the leaves on the trail. |

 |
| Emily's just plain happy! |
 |

Finally, at the end of our busy week, we wrapped up with a visit from our special friends...grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, all versions of extended family. We created our own super hero characters, which we will write about in the coming weeks.
Have a Shabbat Shalom!
