Another tidbit of history and book recommendation:
The year was 1969 and the date was today, July 20.
Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon as they stepped out of their lunar module....do you remember this event? I remember lying on our couch and trying to stay awake so I could witness this monumental event.
Last spring, we watched Apollo 13 (edited by Dad) and became "inspired" to learn more about space and space exploration. Since we just received copies of Destination: Moon, I decided to read it to the kids. Of course, it was easy enough for any of them to read on their own, but I wanted to enjoy the story with them. All of the kids thoroughly enjoyed this book as we learned about Jim Irwin, his Apollo 15 voyage and his faith. It was fantastic. You can read more about Destination: Moon in one of my recent newsletters HERE.
