My Favorite Planet!





Last night Reed and I accompanied our church youth group to the Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park and Observatory. The Bruneau dunes include the single tallest sand dune in North America...it is a WONDER! Then, when the sun went down, we checked out the billions of stars through the huge telescope at the observatory. As we were leaving, there was a group of people using one of the smaller telescopes outside the observatory...I overheard someone saying they were looking at Saturn...well, I've always thought that Saturn was my favorite planet...with those rings and all...but I never expected to actually SEE it! I took my turn and nearly did a happy dance right there! I saw beautiful Saturn on a beautiful night in Bruneau, Idaho!!!
