An evening under the stars!

A few weeks ago, my best friend of more than 13 years and adopted “Aunt Jess” to Dalton and Addie came to visit.  She recently purchased an amazing telescope to help rekindle her love for the stars she had as a child.  She brought the telescope to our house in hopes to ignite that some passion for the stars in Dalton that she has.  I’m pretty sure it must have worked because he has asked several times when she is bringing her telescope back.  Even at four and a half years old, he patiently listened to her on how to use the telescope, some fun facts about the stars and the planets, a mini lesson on how to use a star map and has since asked me numerous questions….all to which I reply “Sounds like a good question to call and ask Aunt Jess.”

Getting a quick lesson on use before we move outside.

 

Looking at the stars.

It was pretty cloudy that night, so we didn’t get to see much.  But Dalton still thought it was pretty cool.  He is looking forward to going to Aunt Jess’s house soon and learning more about our amazing universe.
