Field Trip

Anselm is making good progress in astronomy. He has memorized and can find in the sky many constellations and the 1st magnitude stars.
Today we went on a field trip to the Lick Observatory at the top of Mt. Hamilton. Much fun. Anselm was amazed to learn that other planets have moons.

That's so awesome. I have a fuzzy memory of perhaps being there once?

Anyway, awesome. That's a cool discovery for Anselm indeed.

So far astronomy is his fave subject. He can find and name scads of constellations and stars. Reading is his least fave subject. I am going to back off on reading. One minute I think he is ready and then the next I don't. So we are going to put it off for a month.
