Jayden wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. He can't wait to float around in zero gravity and walk on the moon. For months every time we have gone to the library he has picked out non-fiction books on planets and galaxies. The stack he picked out this week was huge. We still haven't finished them all. The kids and I also drew pictures of planets we invented and then wrote stories about them.
We made aliens out of oats containers.
Made meteors out of tin foil and tissue paper. They had a ball with these things, throwing them all over the place.
Went to a planetarium at a museum that also has a nature trail that we walked around on.
Ate Dippin' Dots for a space treat while we watched Planet 51.
Josh got into Space Week too. He built a rocket with Jayden. This was so exciting for Jayden, so you can imagine how disappointed he was when it got lost in some trees. Oops! It was really cool though. That thing went about 600 feet into the air.
Blast off!

Then something pretty cool happened last night. We were eating dinner when it started to rain. Then right in our backyard was a rainbow, just for us. It was pretty exciting.
