Nice life

Ethan was curious how big the moon was compared to the earth, so we hopped on the web to find out. Naturally that led to him being curious about the size of the sun, then the other planets.

Soon we were watching videos that show the relative sizes of each planet with the sun, then other stars. Ethan would laugh out loud as each new heavenly body dwarfed the ones before it. That brought two bright faced happy and fascinated little sisters poking their heads in and laughing just to support him.

Amber said "That is my life." That is what home life is on a regular basis.

Nice life!
