Finding Moments

Or is it moments finding us? I had seen that there was a local rocket club, one of its members was also a member of our homeschooling community, and I was curious. I saw that my niece and nephew were starting to get involved in this community as well. Today we decided to check it out.  It was great weather, perfect for staring into the sky as you followed a rocket's trajectory. It felt like a mini-air show as we sat in our lawn chairs cheering each rocket's successful launch and safe return to earth. 


That night, a partial eclipse of the moon was scheduled to occur. We spontaneously invited family over to watch the short eclipse. There were rain clouds coming and going, so we were worried we wouldn't see anything. However, the clouds thinned, and we were able to see it with the naked eye, as well and through our experimental paper holes.

What a fun filled day it was.
