Mark has been asking all sorts of questions this summer about how the world and sun and stars all work. It was getting too hard to keep explaining it all over and over again so we went to the library. We got a couple of books on earthquakes, volcanoes, and the solar system. Bill Nye was also available at the library and we enjoyed watching those immensely. At the end of it all we painted a solar system. Don't mind the lopsided sun- it was dropped. My earth is also more on the impressionist side rather than the accurate one. We fit the inner solar system on our fan downstairs so it rotates- so cool. The outer solar system is just lame by comparison. The kids loved it and now every time Mark has another question we just hop downstairs and talk about it. It so much easier to discuss planetary physics when you have a visual. Who knew, eh?
