We were looking for an outing and we found this!
We didn’t know what to expect but they said “Solar System Walk” and we were sold.
So we packed our telescope and off we went!
solar system walk
If The sun is the circle behind chris on the tree,
than this is how far out each of the planets would be.
did you know it would take 5000 years to drive a car to neptune? I didn't.
Heck, I got tired just walking.
here's a video of the family just being family together and the foot powered rocket launcher they set up for the kids.
It was uncommonly cold so we had to skip the telescope for tonight.
final thoughts:
It was such a great experience, I think they lit a spark in us as a family. Chris really enjoyed himself, Mama made me promise to pull out the telescope for Chris after weather improves, and I’m considering looking up a local astronomy group because I don’t even know the questions I have yet.
Thank you so much to NC SCIFEST for hosting.
