My printer is out, so I had to nix my plan to print up a Christopher Columbus story to read to the kids. So, I read a few accounts online and then retold my own version to the kids. One fact I'd never heard before was that Columbus managed to return to the same island four times without ever using a compass or a map. When I shared that fact with my boys, little Eli's eyes got big. He said, incredulously, "And no GPS???" :lol: He's definitely a 21st century child, wouldn't you say? Kari
