Lily's Space Adventure

Lily lived in a small house. It was far, far away.

One day, Lily and her family took a trip. They went to a place called the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

"Wow!" said Lily. It was big! Rockets stood tall.

Inside, Lily saw a real moon rock. It was behind glass.

"It came from the moon!" her dad said.

Lily also saw a space suit. It looked like a big, white balloon.

"An astronaut wore that!" her mom said.

Then, Lily went into a pretend spaceship. She sat in a seat.

"We are going to space!" Lily said. She pushed a button. Lights blinked.

After that, Lily saw a big rocket. It was taller than her house!

"That rocket can fly to space," her brother said.

Lily loved her visit. She wants to be an astronaut.

"I will fly to the moon!" she said. She smiled big.
