Several weeks back we were given this fun new toy from my parents. My kids have been asking for a telescope for quite a while, and finally they got their wish.
Unfortunately the weather in the evenings is still a little bit too chilly to be outside, but this past weekend it was just right. We had a great time examining the moon and all it's craters.
The hardest part was waiting for dad to line it up right, and then being patient while each took a turn.
Abbie is our little science fanatic. She was really loving it!
My favorite feature is the remote control. Not only does it find the planet/stars your looking for, but while your looking at it a recording plays with all sorts of information. While we were looking at the moon it talked about it's temperature, craters, landmarks, and much more. What a fun learning tool.
We may have some future astrologers on our hands. Thanks mom and dad!!!
