Healthy Turkeys

In preparation for Thanksgiving, our family is considering to do some of these healthy plans.

• Register in a local Turkey Trot. 
• Make crafts
• Begin decorating traditions
• Create a placemat at the library
• Donate non-perishable items to shelters, food banks, etc.
• Invite friends to join us for the holiday
• Use our sense of humor
• Bake home-grown pumpkin for pie from scratch without wasting anything... puree, seeds, etc.
• Plan to use healthier ingredients

What other festivities do you enjoy during Autumn?

RAD Days & ZOO BOO

Our family took advantage of complimentary admission to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, thanks to the Allegheny Regional Asset District.  We avoided most of the traffic by arriving early in the day & the weather was beautiful! 

Rhino Spotting!

  

Check out the Asset Calendar to see what else is happening in Pittsburgh.

We are looking forward to another seasonal event...  KDKA Zoo Boo!

Welcome Fall!

Happy Autumn! 

We've already begun decorating for the new season. Thankfully our garden yielded SEVEN pumpkins. Six are used for decorating (and soon to be carved as a jack-o-lantern) and the seventh was baked for pumpkin puree. The puree was used as baby food and delicious additions to baked goods... cookies & breakfast (pancakes, French Toast).
