The Planitarium

We headed out to the Planetarium a couple weeks ago. Etta has always loved the moon. Almost every night she wants to see it and sing her favorite "I see the moon and the moon sees you" song. When ever she talks about the moon she always says the cutest thing. "I want to go to space and see my moon", darling ambition.
We walked around all the little displays. They rotated the moon around the earth to see the different phases of the moon. We watched the Foucault pendulum, which was one of Gibby's favorites. My guess is it looked like a moving "ball". We also hit up the forecast station, walking on the moon and walking on mars. But the hardest thing was tearing them away from the audio-kinetic sculpture called "Newton's Daydream".
It was a fun little family activity that ended with some delicious Ice Cream

Etta walkling on the Moon!

She was bit confused

Gibby loving every minute of it

He loved pointing at everything

"Mars is, Ok"

Gibby trying to Jump, it was so cute. He would only try to jump on the Moon.

Very enthralled
