Columbia Memorial Space Center

We've been talking about going to the Columbia Memorial Space Center for some time since it's so close to Dennis' mom's house. It took a field trip with our homeschool group to finally get us there.

It is a really neat place with lots of hands on things for the kids to do to learn about space and space travel.

Robotic arms are so cool.



Ellie ran into a friend she hasn't seen at Friday school this year.

Josh had to build something with the Legos. . . A Lego astronaut maybe?

Their favorite thing I think was the Robotics lab. They got to work in pairs to program a mini robot to collect supplies. Josh was in deep want of Lego Mindstorms by the time he was done!



It was a fun couple of hours. Glad we went!
