Weston Found the Moon Last Night

Weston's first moon experience...


We read LOTS of books. He can't get enough of them, and he is always pointing at objects in the books: trains, flowers, bugs, wagons, cars, school bus's, animals etc. 
Weston always points to the moon in his "Little Critter" books, and last night for the first time, he saw the moon in REAL LIFE. It was a pretty big moment for him.
I ran inside to grab my camera to capture this monumental moment for him :)



He spotted the Moon in the sky!

Griz, the dog ran over to confirm Weston's findings...

You can hardly see the moon in this picture, but it's just to the right of the tip of the tree!



Weston's in "awe"...


Just in those 5 minutes of gazing at the moon, it's already moved to the right...duh! The moon orbits the Earth :)

See how far the moon has moved from the right tip of the original tree we first saw it near?
Pretty fascinating stuff!
