Fall Fun- Feast Days and Leaves

We recently celebrated the Feast Day of Blessed Kateri Tekawitha, a Native American girl who 

lived a life of love for God. She became a Catholic Christian and was baptized by missionaries, despite her Uncle not allowing her to practice the faith... she fled to Canada with other Catholic Indians. One of the notes in J-Man's history book explains how Blessed Kateri used to make a rosary out of rocks so that she could pray the rosary. What better fun thing to do on a beautiful fall day of learning that to repeat that fun idea?

Here's J & L finding rocks and placing them in a circle (Mommy raked some leaves outta the way!)

 Ahem... and some of us just stood on rocks and watched....

Here he is with his completed rock rosary! (There's a cross with sticks by his feet...then the bigger Our Father rocks and the tiny Hail Mary rocks in between...)

big brother's copy-cat ;)

Kiddos sitting inside their rock rosary!

She made a "sand cake"
