Columbus Day--Spice of Life

Columbus Day...what an interesting holiday.  Columbus was not the nicest man...nor was he the first to "discover" the Americas.  However he was the first European explorer to stay and because of that many came and so his journeys are significant.
 

So we celebrated by learning about three ships that made the first journey (Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria) and we made Spiced Cider because of the Spice Trade.

The boys didn't dig the cider much...more for me :)
