When the week began, we were still in Delaware. On Monday, we visited Assateague and saw the wild horses. It was an absolutely amazing experience that you can read more about (and see the photos) here.
On the way back to Delaware from Maryland, we stopped in Ocean City and spent some time in the arcade on the boardwalk. The kids always love playing some games. And, I loved how they all split the tickets evenly between them so they all got to take home a prize. :-)
While walking on the boardwalk, we saw a memorial that was dedicated to all fallen firefighters and included a piece of the World Trade Center. A good reminder amid the fun and frolicking of a shore town of how precious life is and to remember those who have died in protecting and serving others. (Sorry for the glare. It was a very sunny day)
Tuesday was our driving home day. :-( We did enjoy lunch together on the way home.
We didn't go to co-op on Wednesday (kids just couldn't get up!), but Kiddo #4 enjoyed some baking and teaching her dolls the art of Rainbow Loom bracelet making. :-)
The rest of the week had us getting back to the books and trying out new learning games such as part of speech dominoes
(the kiddos took this photo and thought "smelly" was just so funny)

Love it ALL!
Oh my, the pics of the horses this weekend all the way to Speech dominoes! Great game, I have to look into that!
Your kids have such cute faces. Thanks for sharing!
Lisa, I wanted to let you know that I mention you ( again !) in my WWU. I just hit publish a bit ago. Can't get it done by Fri PM lately!
We'll be on the soccer field til later///have a great Sat and enjoy some down time.
Wow, great week! I love how your daughter is teaching her dolls about the Rainbow Loom. My girls love the bracelets but we don't have a loom (yet). Looks like a lot of fun...glad you're back home safely!!
The wild horses are beautiful. I would love to visit Ocean City some day.
Our state museum also has a piece of the World Trade Center. It is quite sobering to see.
Hope you're having a great week.
