My Blog layout cuts off the window to view that AWESOME video. Here is the link to watch it on YouTube, if you'd like.

With that said, Chris has spent the last few days building kites with the boys out of dowels and garbage bags. It's been fun to watch their enthusiasm to know that they didn't have to buy them, they could make them. They spent countless hours putting these together and enjoyed the warm, beautiful afternoon on Sunday flying them. This picture below is of Dylan flying his Delta kite. Chris and Todd built box kites. I sat on the stairs in amazement as I listened to Chris talk to Dylan about how kites were the first step to space. It totally intrigued him and they talked for hours about it.

All of this goes hand in hand with the telescope we bought a couple of weeks ago. I love that Chris is teaching our kids and they don't even know it! They've learned all about the Apollo Space Program and so much about the moon...and just space in general. They love to sit outside at night and look at Saturn and the moon through the telescope. They even get up extra early to see Jupiter!! I can't wait to take this thing up into the mountains, away from the city light pollution.
