Fly Me to the MOON

Grandpa Dave is always saying how much he wants to go to the moon.  Sierra loves her Grandpa and she does all kinds of things just cause he does.  She will eat foods just cause Grandpa likes them.  She keeps her pink bear with her at all times cause Grandpa got it for her.  Her favorite song is Cazy Cricket Stomp cause Grandpa likes it.  When drinking soda she will toast it with eveyone willing.  A few months ago she decided she was going to take Grandpa to the moon because that is what he wanted to do.   

Kevin went to work planning a party for Sierra.  He had arts and crafts, trivia, games, food decorations.  Kevin gave us all asignments to help him.  I was in charge of boarding passes, moon rocks, snow globes, moon water and uniforms.  Grandma was in charge of helping Kevin, food and prizes.  Grandpa was in chage of the trivia game. 

Finnaly it was time for us to go to the moon.  First a quick group photo in our space ranger shirts. 

Everyone is really excited to get in the teleporter and go to the moon.  We have to wait our turn as the teleportor is not large enough for everyone to go at once.

Going down the stairs to the teleportor...

To get to the moon one must have a boarding pass.  Then you have to enter the teleportor, close the door and when the door opens on the other side you have been transported to the moon.

After arriving on the moon Brooklyn and Sierra discovered Kevin had provided them with personal rockets for them to use to travel around the moon in.  The girls loved them.

Kevin is so creative.

The first activity Kevin planed was making UFO plates for us to eat our moon pizzas in.  Everyone worked hard on their plates.

After we made our plates and waited for the pizza to cook Kevin had a fun game for us to play.  Black hole star toss.  There were prizes.

After the game we ate pizza and austronaut icecream.  We also played Grandpa's trivia game.  It was Anderson's vs Blaser's.  I don't really know who won because Brooklyn was keeping score for our team and I don't think anyone was keeping score for the other team.

Next we made snow globes by filling rocket shaped bottles with gliter and water. 

Even Space Ranger London had a uniform and was able to come to the moon.

Our final activity before leaving the moon was a moon rock hunt.  Moon rocks were hidden all over the moon and everyone had to look for them.  The girls love the rocks.  I worked hard on them but everyone said they looked liked balled up tinfoil.

The girls got really cool sunglasses to wear.

 Kevin also made small party favors by turning TP rolls into rocket ships and filling them with candy.  They were very cute.  After we all made it back to earth we went outside to take a few swings at the pinata.  Then we were able to launch rockets.  We had a really good time on the moon.  Brooklyn and Sierra keep talking about it.  Thanks everyone, especailly Kevin for all your hard work.
