In my life/homeschool this week: Monday and Tuesday were our last two days in Bethany Beach. On Monday we visited Assateague Island and were able to see some of the wild horses! What an amazing experience. I posted lots more pictures of them here.
On Tuesday, on our way home, we visited the Air Mobility Museum at the Dover Air Force Base. It is the only museum in the country that is dedicated to airlift and refueling history.
We got to see planes including Air Force Two and climb aboard a C-47 Skytrain that dropped paratroopers on D-Day. Walking through that plane gave me the goosebumps, knowing what those men endured in order to help free Europe on that infamous day in June of 1944.
We also got to climb up into a mock air traffic control tower.
I also posted my weekly recipe linkup. I shared my homemade oreo cookies recipe. Lots of other good recipes were shared, as well. You can see them all here.
On Wednesday, we returned home to another field trip, this time to Citizens Bank Park, the home field of our Philadelphia Phillies. What an awesome trip! We got to go behind the scenes and see the locker room, dugout, press room,etc. I wrote all about it here.
Thursday was a back to the grind day, with school work all around and classes at church in the evening.
What I'm praying for: our nation, our military, our freedom of religion and conscience, those who are unemployed, sick and suffering, my family, the list goes on......
What I'm reading: trying desperately to catch up on my reading for my various book clubs all going on at once!

P.S. I shared two science printables for Print-a-Palooza on Thursday. One was bear flashcards and the other was my Bird Bingo. Feel free to print them out for your children. You can find them here.

Lisa, I used to live on Dover AFB so I know the museum you visited:) I remember it very well. Made me have any memories come back. We were there during 9-11, so that was intense, but it brought back lots of good memories too. Thank you for praying for our military. I think as military dependents we pray a lot for it.
You did so many wonderful things this week! Love you photos and thanks for your recipe link up, I really like that one.
I love the harvest moon image. Very nice. This post would link up well at my new blog hop - "Its a Wrap, My Take Away for the Week." I hope you'll consider linking it up. -Savannah www.hammocktracks.com

What a wonderfully active week you had, Lisa! I love historical planes - when we saw the Concorde, the Enola Gay and the Discovery space shuttle, I wished we could've seen the inside of them! Your moon photo is terrific! I've tried photographing the moon before and not had much success. Enjoy your weekend!
Looks like so much fun.
New follower from NOBH. hope you will follow back.
