Maxwell has been very interested in how the moon changes, since reading a library book called "The Moon Seems to Change" by Franklyn M. Branly. We looked it up on the internet, and found that a full moon was coming up in a week! He was so excited when I suggested a Full Moon Walk! (I think he thought we would actually be walking on the moon, but the dissapointment didn't last too long!)
On August 27th, we went on our Full Moon Walk. We drove to a park by the lake so that we would have some room to run around.
The kids had fun rolling down the hills. You can see Maddie's holding her "telescope" that she brought to see the moon better with. Max brought binoculars.
The baseball field was our "moon crater."
This was the end of the night. You can see that the kids are tired, but still unwilling to go to bed. Max kept saying that we were only there for a "short time." There was a lunar eclipse that night, but in Chicago it was not visible. Grandma in California watched it and told us all about it though.
