ISpace

There isn't much I like more than free family events, but when you can attend a free family educational event...it takes the cake! This May, we went to the ISpace exhibit. There was so many crafts for the kids to do, all while learning how things are done in space. We learned how astronauts fix things in space while wearing their "moon gloves". The kids got to cut the bottom out of 2 Styrofoam cups, put them inside of each other and attach 3 pieces of string to the bottoms, connecting the cups. When you want to grab something, you twist the cups in opposite directions and it forces the strings to squeeze your object and pick it up. It was pretty cool. Wish I had pictures of that.

They also had the opportunity to dress in astronaut gear, Hailee was the only one who would do it. We wrote our names on a sign to send off into space on the next shuttle run...it was all pretty cool! We made so many crafts, rode a hover-round...neat stuff to do. So worth going out there!

Oh, and the girls were in their softball uniforms because they were both supposed to have a game later that day. Both games got cancelled because of the rain. LOL!
