Houston we have take off!

For Spring Break I took the kids down to Houston for a trip to NASA. My uncle lives down there and my parents came over and met us there. We had such a fun filled week. There are so many pictures that I can't even post them all.





We were able to visit and tour the Astronaut Training Facility. It was interesting to see all that they go through to prepare for Space.

On the day we were there we had the rare occasion to actually see astronauts training. The pictures are a little dark (we were in a hurry and dealing with taking pictures through a window) but you can see the astronauts in the orange space suits. The boys were so excited that they got to see real astronauts that day!








There are lots of fun games and adventures for the kids to simulate space travel. Here Easton is attempting to land a lunar modular.

Very cool! We took a Floriday Disney World trip a few years ago and one of the days we went to Kennedy Space Center. It was my favorite day of the whole week and looks even better!
