I had Easter dinner with my niece who is a 7th grader. Her Social studies class had an assignment where they learned about the culture and kids in all the places where the President visited in Europe. I learned that not only am I a moron when it comes to Eurpoean geography (I incorrectly labeled England as Uzbekistan), I'm pretty lousy to US geography also.
So here is our WL inspired Social studies test: Fill in the blanks.
1) "Oh, give me a home where the _____roam, and the _____ and the _____ play. Little Gene Autry ditty. (the 1st young groupie who ask "who's gene autry" will be stalked.
)
2) I'm the home of the largest bears in the country. Males average over 10' when standing. While I'm beautiful country, it's a bit cold up here.
Where am I?________________________ Hint: I'm also the name of a popular camera company.
3) If imitation is the highest form of flattery, I'm pleased as punch by the Wilderness lodge. I was built around 1904 and while in a disney deluxe you get concierge, you won't find TV's radios, internet connection or AC in my deluxes. All the better to enjoy the majestic surroundings.
Who am I and where am I located?____________ ______________
4)You can call me a cow but I don't hang out with the dairy variety. I do hang out at some really cool national parks in the West but I'm really happy in this Northeastern State where I'm the state animal.
Who am I? and what State do I represent____________ ____________
5) At your version of this spot you'll see Salmon, ducks and tenderloin but at another version you're more likely to see water falls, mountains & canyons.
Where are you?
6) While we were soliders our primary duty was to serve as escorts for settlers heading westward. We are members of the 9th & 10th calvary but you probably know us better by the nickname given to us by the Native Americans
Who are we?_________________________
Have fun!!
And yes, welcome! You are new around these parts! Grab a rocking chair, and a Moosie Siggy if you like and sit with us a spell.
But FYI: This is DH, 
the former Dillon on the Dis. For the first time ever, we have vanity plates on our cars. Mine is DZNY DI and his is DZNY DAD So, following the theme, he tried to change his ID on the Dis. Apparently you can't do that. So... a new account is formed. Personally I think he was just a wee bit jealous. 
Or maybe a mid-life crisis?
