"Et si on allait sur la lune, Maman?"

LP and I had a date this evening... to the Observatory on the University of Saskatchewan campus. LP has been talking about stars, planets, explosions in the sky and walking on the moon... so this was the perfect activity. I couldn't believe it was open to the public, free, every Saturday night. I was so excited I told LP at the beginning of the week, which was a mistake, as everyday was a battle to explain to him that we were not yet Saturday...

So here we are before leaving... goofing around.
Here is LP in the observatory, looking at the telescope. It's quite old, and antique actually, but it looks just like the one he has seen in books.
Looking at what he could potentially see through the telescope and getting excited. He was actually jumping up and down!
So LP was able to see Jupiter tonight, and that was a big deal. Although he still wanted to go in space after we left... we'll have to play pretend for that...

Leaving the Observatory... it was a fun night.

And I will be catching up with quite a few posts in the next few days... with life somewhat back to normal, I can spend time on the blog again. Much to share for those far away!! ;)
