Geography Lesson #2

"/>

On Thursday we were able to take a walk and use our map for the very first time. The plan at first was to go across the street to the store, but the more I thought about it the more I felt we could use the map a little more by walking to the thrift shop and around River Rd. to get to the store the long, round about way. So I bundled the girls up and off we went. I just realized that this was the first time Amelia had ever gone for a walk without the stroller. She did great.

Had to show the map of our town.

Tabitha was pointing to where we were on the map

but Amelia got in the way. Little bit further to the

thrift shop.

Here we are at the thrift shop.

And here we are, getting ready to turn down River Rd.

We made it to the store (to buy the ingredients still needed for the strawberry tarts we made to go with our Qq lesson) and back home. The biggest complaint/problem was Tabitha's sock that kept riding off her foot. And it got a little windy on River Rd, I had actually started feeling a little warm before that.

Later in the day we finished our geography lesson by looking at our postcards we had received through the postcard exchange. If you would like to be involved in this postcard exchange you can see the information here. We would love to be able to send more postcards out and have the opportunity to learn more about some other states. We recently received two from Texas and one from Bermuda. Tabitha colored her map again, Amelia wasn't really into it, though I did get her to pose for a picture.
