Kenley's Girl Scout troop had the opportunity to go to a Space Center for a weekend trip this year. I guess the families of the astronauts killed in the Challenger explosion fund these Space Centers all over the country that teach kids about astronomy, rocketry, space, etc. It was such a cool experience. I was able to go with them for the weekend as a chaperone, and we had a great time together! The first picture is our pit stop halfway through the drive. Luckily it's not still that snowy where we live!
Here's Kenley doing some crafting.
In the afternoon on Saturday, the younger Girl Scouts took a Rocketry class. They learned all about the history of space shuttles and rockets, and then they were able to make their own paper rockets and launch them outside.
Here are the dorms where we stayed. Pretty cool. And comfy. However, next time I go on a weekend Girl Scout experience I will NOT forget earplugs!
On Saturday night we went to the "beach" and walked by the water and collected shells and rocks. Here's me and my sweet girl. She is getting so big, and I love sharing these cool experiences with her!
