Challenger Space Center







The car was packed, the house was clean, and we were ready to leave early in the morning for our trip to Utah. Noah woke up with a high fever, and Mike and I decided we should stay home. It was a good choice, since the rest of us have been sharing germs the past few days. Ugh!

To make up the lost trip to our grouchy children, (mostly our Teen) we decided we would be on vacation until Monday as planned. That means no jobs, (at least for the boys) and plenty of outings, TV, and Playstation. We saw Ice Age 3 in 3D, swam a lot, ate a lot, and last night we enjoyed the fireworks in Cave Creek at our annual Church Ice cream Social. It was awesome.

Here are some pictures from our field trip to the Challenger Space Center. We have always wanted to go there, and now we can say we have. It was not as great as we had expected, next time we will go to the Science Center instead! But we still had fun. We have started listening to books on tape together when we have long drives in the car. Everyone seems to enjoy it but Mike and Sam. They are always grumpy anyway, so we just ignore them!

What cute little astronauts! (if it was you I'd have said a different word...) ;) he he he
Sorry you guys got sick-- that IS a bummer. (Especially 'cause I know how much work it is to have everyone all packed- that stinks!)

That looks like fun! Aspen would have liked it! He's likes planets.
