Space Trip

Timothy & his 6th grade classmates took a trip to the Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville last week.
My mother & I were among several parents who tagged along as chaperones.
We experienced many interesting & entertaining things throughout the day long trip!!

We got to start with a tour . . .

we were amazed at all the super cool memorabilia!

The day was cold & rainy, which made walking between the

buildings for the various activities miserable . . . :(

We took part in a space lab!

The kids had to construct a lander with a parachute;

like the rovers that have been sent to Mars!!

Then the kids put eggs in the landers & we had an Egg Drop!!

Timothy's group's egg didn't survive the landing in one piece!

Next stop . . .

Lunch!!

And back out to the next stop . . .

The kids had some free time to enjoy some fun stuff -

Timothy said no to the rock wall :)

He said yes to the space ride :)

We could see them on the screen . . . so neat!!

And he said definitely no to this spinning ride!!

 We ended the day with an Imax Movie about

The Hubble space station - it was quite intriguing!!

 

I'm so glad we took this trip because we had A BLAST!!!

(Hee hee hee!!)
