THE STORY BEHIND THE BLOG

This blog started as a place for me to put a few stories I had written about a dad and his two kids and the "everyday adventures" they had together. But it has sort of evolved into a hodge podge of dad related thoughts, stories, songs, and other misc. things.

The capital of Kentucky is...

My fourth grade daughter had a quiz today on the southern states and their capitals.  We worked on them last night and for the most part she had them down.  There were a couple she just couldn't remember, one of those was Kentucky.

So to help her remember, I reminded her that Grandpa Rick lives right next to Kentucky, and she always likes going over the river into Kentucky.

That helped.
She correctly identified Kentucky on the quiz today.

We also worked on remembering Kentucky's capital of Frankfort because it has a boy's name in it and so does Kentucky.  I hoped she would remember "Frank" and "Kent."

She listed the capital of Kentucky as Rick.    :)
