yes so true!

when my oldest was 3 if not 4 (his baby brother was barely 1 year old), we often drove out of town closer to midnight just to try to catch aurora borealis. cold in the car for sure, even with heater on haha

we have 2 humble telescopes that we use often. the boys (5 and 9 years old), love using them to see the sky and whatnot :) we live downtown now, can hardly see the sky. too many lights.
