A couple weeks ago I signed up for a family class to learn about stars through a telescope.

Emma has always been interested in telescopes and stars, so I thought she'd think it was really cool. We got to look at Venus and a bunch of different stars through a huge telescope.

There were 2 girls that Emma knows from school there too, so she ended up being more interested in playing on the playground with them than the stars and telescope. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But she did think it was cool we could see Venus.

She also thought it was cool to see how big the sun is compared to earth.
