Fun (and learning, too!) on the web

The “Olders” (M&B) are on the East Coast with their Grandma this week. I’ve noticed recently that B has a lot of trouble understanding where he is in the world… sometimes France and Denmark are in the U.S. in his world (horreur!). When they get back I’m planning to introduce them to Google Maps where you can see satellite pictures of any US address (I haven’t checked if they “do” the rest of the world, prolly do). You can zoom in (as in this picture of Grandma’s house) or zoom waaaaay out. I think it will help give them a bit of context for why it takes so very long to get home from Grandma’s house.
