On one of our trips outside, they took us to a large area where there were spots that no one had ever stepped before. It was called the "Field of First Steps". Each person got to walk to a separate place and put their footprint on the moon. Some people had special shoes with their name on the bottom, so that their footprint would have their name.

A footprint lasts a really long time on the moon because there is no air or rain to disturb it. It was neat to think that the footprint might be there for thousands of years.

Pictures [edit section]

• FIXTHIS - need picture of the field of first steps, with a footprint
  • there are squares cordoned off with strings close to the ground with paths between them
  • some squares have footprints in them, and some don't
