3...2...1...Blast Off!

Yesterday we were outfitted in our space helmets 

and we prepared for our launch into outerspace.

We got a little inspiration from the local astronauts
at the planetarium and then we were off.

Our first stop was on the moon.

Adam enjoyed moon walking in his "moon boots."

Next we made a successful landing on Mars.

Then to celebrate our travels we had an astronaut ice cream party.

Mmmm...freeze dried Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Today we did some more exploring in our solar system by examining each planet...then eating them up!

Sugar Cookie Solar System

We used this great book for our colorful inspiration.

 Tonight we have landed safely back on Earth and everyone is tucked into bed.  I'm looking forward to studying the stars and the moon from gravity-assisted solid ground!
