Swimming Pool Stargazing

I have a list of things I wanted to do with the boys this summer, and I'm happy to say that a good number of activities have been crossed off! One thing I've been super excited for is stargazing with Liam. We waited for Max to fall asleep the other night and then filled the empty inflatable pool with pillows and blankets. It was a perfectly clear night, and we cozied up in the pool together for a good few hours. We saw constellations, satellites and bats. We talked about how far away the stars are, and where heaven might be. We talked about The Big Bang, and how the universe works. We snuggled and laughed and snuggled some more. Liam suprised me with how much he knows - asteroids smashing into the moon created the craters we can see, and bats use their squeaks to bounce sound off of objects so they don't bump into them!

We counted 18 satellites and 4 bats, or, as Liam announced it - "18 satellites and 4 bats, here on Bobby Bam's Weather Channel!" Not sure where he came up with that one, but it made me laugh!

Love this kid. And love making memories.
