Amelia Earhart disappeared!

Most people know this already, but when Google announced yesterday would have been her 115th birthday - I decided to teach Joy about her since she didn't nap because she's the oldest and getting to big for naps :(  She remembered everything I told her, and recapped our whole conversation to her little brother yesterday afternoon!  Fascinating life of a woman who didn't have the perfect life nor lots of time nor money to pursue her dream, but if you LOVE something you will MAKE time for it!  We have learned her as the first woman to fly a plane across the ocean and she set many other world records - see her list below.  But more importantly she believed anything a man could do, a woman could do too!  The mystery of her disappearance on her last flight (an attempt to fly around the whole earth) is what makes her story so interesting - did she crash and die or survive on an island?  The waters around Howland Island where she was supposedly headed are around 17,000 - 18,000 ft deep!  If the plane went down there, it is no wonder we never saw nor heard from her again!  Here's her website:  http://www.ameliaearhart.com/about/bio.html
