Driving about town on the bus, we passed Embassy Row, and the kids shouted out the names of all the embassies as we passed them. Dominic was disappointed that we didn't pass the Greek Embassy, and then sheepishly confessed that he doesn't like baklava. Correlation proves causation!
We had planned to go to the Lincoln Monument at the end of the day, but once again the siren call of free play time in the glorious outdoors held sway, and everyone agreed it could wait until tomorrow. Rec time at the 4H Center: yes!
After dinner the kids undertook the Herculean task of packing their suitcases, which for some required finding them under five layers of petrified laundry.
Lights were out at 9:20 and we're pretty sure they went to sleep quickly. It's been a jam-packed week and the fifth graders have been really cooperative and engaged; parents waiting at the airport tomorrow are going to greet some very very tired chickens.
