[Image] Then the kids went for a ride above earth to see what the Hubble telescope was up to.
[Image] Desert Girl made it to Mars and can apparently withstand its atmosphere without any protective equipment.
[Image] Desert Boy went for a Martian walk. He, too, has special powers.
[Image] On the way back, they detoured to the moon and tested the gravitational pull. It was fun looking at the exhibits, even if it was a whirlwind tour due to some very short attention spans. 
[Image]Afterwards we checked out the Christmas lights in the Gateway Center. We were fascinated by a fountain. During the summer it would be a wonderful place to cool off. In the winter it looked cold. But my husband found a way to walk through without getting (too) wet, so he and Desert Boy took a walk on the wild side.
