UP CLOSE WITH THE MOON - WORDLESS WEDNESDAY W/ LINKY







We were coming home from out to dinner when my husband and I were admiring the moon and how beautiful it lite up night sky, our kids heard us and were admiring it too. So when we got home my husband pulled out our telescope and set it up so the kids could see the moon up close. He was homeschooling them in the night time outdoors - it was fun to watch! Nice break for me, mom!

As he held the littler ones up so they could see we both got a kick of their reactions, it was a great night for getting to learn about the moon!

  11. That's great! I used to have a telescope when I was a kid. I lived in Alaska though and the only time it was dark enough at night to see anything, it was also below zero :P I'd bundle up and head out to look at moon craters. Can't wait until mine are old enough to appreciate planets! For now we use the Google Star map app to teach my 3 year old about planets and stars :)

  41. I wish we lived far enough out of the city to use our telescope! There's so much city glow that it's hard to see the stars. Once upon a time, we lived out in the country... and oh, the sky was lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  42. We have a telescope that we never use. Looks like you took advantage of yours, awesome:) My husband loves the nights sky.

    ReplyDelete

  44. Looks like a great learning opportunity mingled with daddy time! We've wanted a telescope for a while now, not sure when we will be able to get one, but I'm sure the kids would love it.
    I still remember talking about the phases of the moon a few years ago and being completely surprised when Tabitha looked up in the sky a while later and remembered the name of the phase.
