Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
A very dewy evening trying to view the moon and draw the road in the moon. The kids loved using binoculars. Moved inside for a presentation on meteorites and to do 2 moon activities. Learning to view the moon and the moon jump. One boy tried to convince us he could jump 100 ft. The shortest young man could jump almost as high as some of the tall boys. They had alot of fun.
