I cannot believe this week. While we try and give our children experiences. Tuesday, earthquake. And since the beach house is high up on pilings we really felt it. Then we have to evacuate for hurricane in 5 days.

Luckily we did not lose power at the beach, though brother-in-law, at PA/DE border did Sat eve and still didn't have it on when we left at 10 am.

And then when we came back, seeing the beach all changed, and we went to the cove and found all these star fish, and crabs (the cove or dog beach was a magnificent ocean study).

Since I remember reading about hothousing before I left, I couldn't believe the opportunity to present all this stuff to a 6 year old. You cannot hot house this stuff.
