We're Back!


We had a great time at Assateague! We ended up staying only one night (2 days) because if we had another night of such sleep (or lack thereof) and another day without naps, we would NOT have had a great time!

We had a lot of fun with our friends (13 other families in our social circle came). We had a great time at the beach. We loved the ponies! We saw three little bands, each with a stallion and 2 - 4 mares. We even saw a mare with a little foal!

There were signs all over saying not to approach/feed/tease the ponies. The ponies took no note of the signs. They came up to you and practically butted you with their heads as if to say, "Hey there, buddy, got any apples?" They were beautiful!

Alas, I got no pictures of the ponies and all of my beach pictures look like tons of random kids playing in the surf. Not a bad thing. Most of our home school group was there, so that's really what it was like!

We also found lots of mermaid purses (ray egg sacs) which I am hoping to dissect later.

Sounds awesome!
We have a couple mermaid's purses too, but I never thought to open them. Left some "bloggy love" for you over at my blog.
