The package arrived today! At first, Katie was thrilled to have mail, and then gasped when she heard it was full of NASA items.
We dug into the box, and found a miniature astronaut and Space Shuttle, plus a patch and two big decals. There were lots of activity booklets with mazes and connect-the-dot games, plus a coloring book. She also got a shell necklace, paper soap (that was a fun little experiment in the bathroom!), and a deck of miniature cards.
The best part of the box was the REAL astronaut food. There were freeze-dried strawberries and freeze-dried ice cream. We immediately started snack time and tried the ice cream. It wasn't too bad - like a chalky marshmallow that got gooey in your mouth. Katie said, "I'm going to eat this every day!" She said the ice cream was her favorite part of the box.
What a fun, educational package! Thank you, Heather, for taking the time to send everything to our budding space enthusiast. We truly appreciate it!

Does she know that many of the astronauts are engineers?
Hi there ...
I am hoping you can help me rally all the "lupus troops."
March 3, 2009 is the Lupus Foundation of America’s 11th Annual Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. Even if you cannot physically join us on Tuesday, there are still several things you – and your family and friends – can do to help raise awareness about the seriousness of lupus.
To learn all the easy things you can do from the comfort of your home, please go to http://lfa-inc.blogspot.com/2009/02/even-if-you-cannot-be-in-dc-for-lfas.html
To take it a step further, if you're willing to do so, I'd really appreciate it you would consider posting this information (what you find at the link to my blog) on your blog, and letting all your friends and family know how important this is to the lupus community.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at davis@lupus.org.
Thanks for your help.
All the best, Wick
Elizabeth, bring her over, we have TONS of NASA and space stuff! Ben did space and astronomy for science last year, so we have it ALL, books, toys, dvds, and yes, the space food... plus pictures and souvenirs from Kennedy Space Center, one of our best family vacations so far, I highly recommend that one.
Have fun! ; )
E - if she's into space right now, you should check out Boeing here in town. I don't know what all age groups they do and whether they do only groups or if individuals can go, but they have an education center where they have space demos and astronaut food and fighter planes to see. Sounds right up her alley!
