Christa McAuliffe Space Simulator/ DJ's b-day party







So, two years ago DJ goes on a field trip to a space simulator with school, and has been wanting to go back for a b-day party. Well, it is a little expensive, so we told him he had to skip a year and save up. He was all for it! We went last night and "It was awesome!" They meet and get briefed on their individual stations, and spend the next 2 hours in the simulator navigating thru space and the challenges it brings. They were to rondavue with a Klingon and his ship got blown apart so they had to figure out and decode the info left from him, on what they were going to do.
Engineer~ DJ
Communications~ Tyson
Pilot~ Ben
Tactical Officer~ Jacob
Sensors~ Jackson
1st Officer~ Delon
can't remember~ Moises
Captain~ Kyle
So, they each had their station and at one point or another they
would have to help the rest of the crew, or DIE!!!
It was a great birthday party for the mom because I got to sit in the lobby and play tetris:) Or go into the control room and watch the monitors.
P.S. I love my kids, even under pressure they were nice to each other.

What a great birthday party (no mess for you and they were entertained)!

Sounds like they need to have a game day- when you come in March?
