Francisco de Coronado: Dork-o the Explorer



Riley has his first oral report in school today. He had to dress up as the legendary explorer, Francisco de Coronado, then get up in front of class and give a report on him. You remember him, right? I think he was more important than Columbus, Lewis & Clark, Magellan...the list could go on. I mean, who doesn't consider the idiot who went searching for the 7 lost Cities of Gold super important? Try finding a lot of info on the guy. He was born, he died, and in between he was the first European to see the Grand Canyon. And here's a shocker-he NEVER found the cities of gold! Try putting that into a full page report for an 8 year old!! I think I "explored" the Internet longer just looking for info on him! Anyway, here's to hoping that the $30 I spent on his costume earns some SERIOUS extra credit.
