Jumping high at the planetarium

After we got into Salt Lake City we rode the Trax tran to the Clark planetarium. Grandpa Fawcett met us there and so did Uncle Nathan. We were finally getting the right amount of grownup to kid ratio going. At the planetarium we watched a movie about the different planets in our solar system and galaxy. Then the kids got to walk on the moon and mars, and practice giving the weather report at the "Fresh Air Forcast Center". Then they got to find out what it would be like to really walk on the moon. The kids were each put in a harness and then they were hooked to a machine that would allow them to jump as high as they would be able to jump if they were really walking on the moon. The big kids loved it.


Then we walked through the Gateway Center to the water jets on the north end. The kids had fun running in and out of the water trying not to get sprayed by the water. Of course all the kids were soaking wet by the time we were finished. Then we went to dinner and rode the Front Runner home again. It was so much fun, we all had a great day.
