Beach Trip!

The girls have very specific birthday plans, and Pearl's included an all-family Cherry Picking Party.  They love to climb the orchard ladders.

We also took a few days and went to the beach.  We noted, with some pleasure, that it is suddenly much easier to move three children aged four and up compared to the old days. 



All the girls braved the ocean water for the first time, and I had the joy of seeing them bobbing all around me in the waves.  You can guess which child loved the thrill of the unexpected waves the most. 




On the way home we popped in at a Delaware plantation outside Dover.  We don't test much in our homeschooling philosophy, but this tour was the best type of test, as the docent asked them if they knew what the old fashioned things were.  They did.



 Here they are mixing up some syllabub in the kitchen. It would have been served room temperature. Ugh!



Discovering the wonders in our own backyard.
