I’ve tried to make my own spaceship. I used card board,
tape, chewing gum and firecrackers, but nothing worked
out.

Once I tried you make a sling shot with a lot of rubber bands
between the two tall trees in my yard.
It broke and I got a boo boo. OUCH!

I’ve counted the days until my dad comes back. I miss him
sometimes. I look up at the stars wondering if he looks back down
at me.

It’s been two years since I have seen my dad. In five days, he
comes back from space. I can’t wait to hear about his trip!

So today is finally the day my dad comes back from the moon! I'm
so excited to see him.My dad is my hero and I want to
be like him someday.

My dad landed back on earth. As he stepped out of the spaceship I gave him a big hug.

Later that day we had a big dinner for everyone and their
families who went to space. That night, my dad told me stories of his time in space, and he gave
me a moon rock.
