Fun websites
I've found a couple of really cool websites I thought you all would like to see:
US Surname Distribution This website shows, for a given surname, the amount of people with that name on a map of the US. So you can type in "Tobler" for 1990, and you can see which states had the most Toblers (the answer won't surprise you). It's pretty fun. Try "Staker" in 1920, try "Romney" in 1920, try "Osmond" in 1990, "Staheli" in 1990--some traditional Mormon names show up in the appropriate places. Cool website.
HiddenPassageway.com This is for all the "Clue" fans in our family (oh, right, pretty much the whole family), and especially for Mema and Telima's evil twin brother. (The link has music playing, so if you are in the library or something make sure your sound is off.)
And, finally, some of the coolest sidewalk art I've ever seen. No offense, Mary Poppins, but your sidewalk chalk drawings were nothing compared to this guy's.
Enjoy!
