Back to school (again!)

As soon as we came back from our beach trip, it was time for school to start. Gray entered 1st grade and Hayes began kindergarten at Farmington Elementary School, just about a mile from our house. I just know that Hayes will love it as much as Gray has! And with back to school, comes Fall sports! Both kids signed up for soccer and Gray even played in his first tournament! Gray also became a tiger scout and has had a blast earning belt loops and badges, participating in a fishing rodeo, and competing in the regatta race. Hayes started ballet AND tap at a new studio, Studio B Dance, and is also learning to read! But after all of that hard work, we were excited to have some fun during the Fall Break. We went to Cedar Hills Farm with friends.... Picked apples at Jones Orchard.... Saw the scarecrows at Lichterman.... and visited St. Louis! We packed the City Museum, Grants Farm, Magic House, and the Science Center all into one weekend and still had time to enjoy some awesome food too! Until next time, The Patterson
