Let's see

how well you can do at these. Jeff found the first one. The boys have been playing them, so it's been fun to see if we can do it all as a family!

First we'll start out with the basics (for those of us in the US). Go here and play - then come back to try the rest.

Or, if you are feeling braver and think you know your geography try THIS.

Then if you're brave, try to put all the capitals in the right place HERE.

OK, so now you know how well you remember the classes you took. Now let's really test your knowledge, but still be somewhat safe by doing THIS puzzle.

Then if you really want to see how the face of Africa has changed in your lifetime, try THIS. Kai just finished playing this as I type and was just 428 miles off.

OK, so it has been fun showing the kids how much we don't know! And it's been equally fun becoming more aware of it all.

Wish there were more of these puzzles and I honestly hope they make one for every continent. Maybe we can place penguins on Antartica!

On another note, Kai wanted to watch the History Channel with me tonight. We watched the show they have on the 2004 tsunami. I kept checking in with him, but he wanted to watch. If you don't already know, this type of disaster is one thing Kai and I end up talking about a lot. Really, a lot. Yet, he wants to have more information. He is definitely a 'more information is better' kind of guy. So I will, I'm sure, have many more opportunities to discuss this. Overall, it was really well done.
