Map reading

One day we had to use the street directory to get to Heather's party and home again. Abigail had already been very interested in the world atlas at home, and now she was shown where the park was, the beach and our walking path from picnic area to the car.

Then Abigail kept studying the directory on her lap as the car started moving. She asked Chris to show her where we were going, and managed to follow the car's progress from yellow to brown to black roads, all the way from Abbotsford to Lilyfield. Her parents tried to tell her a few times our updated progress, but sometimes she was already pointing to the spot on the map.
