Kennedy Space Center

Last weekend while Chad was home we went down to the Kennedy Space Center. We had a good time and it was a nice day(wind blew the entire time). We went on the bus tour and before the tour they take your picture in front of a background. After you get back from the tour they are waiting with the picture to sell to you. We decided to buy it since it came with a CD and was a pretty good picture of all of us. I just got the CD out today and put it in the computer. I was surprised and pleased to find more pictures on there. These are just a couple of the pictures that were on the CD.

The space shuttle lifting off.

The space shuttle landing.

The family picture.

It was a nice day outing for us. It took us about 3 hours to get there, so the drive wasn't bad. There is quite a bit to do. There is only one ride but a couple of tours and I-max movies. There are lots of things to see and the kids didn't get too bored with anything. The admission includes a free admission into the astronaut hall of fame which is just down the road. You can also pay a little extra and have lunch with a real astronaut. I think this is something that we would do again in a few years when the kids get older too.

Happy Birthday Caitlin!!!!!!!

Okay, these pictures posted in the wrong order as you can see. And I can't get the text to go in at the top of this picture. So until I have time to work on it, this is what you get.
Today was Caitlin's 10th birthday! Oh my, double digits. We had cake and ice cream and then headed off to Toys R Us to spend birthday money. They gave her a balloon and announced her birthday over the speakers.

Her Tinkerbell cake.

I think she had a good birthday even if we didn't have a party. She had her best friend, Courtney over and the other little girl next door, Cirin.

Update

Okay, so it's been a while. I could give you all kinds of excuses but really, I was just lazy. We had Caitlin's recital which we didn't get to attend. Caitlin ended up getting sick the morning of her recital. We tried to make it, even going so far as going to the rehearsal that morning. After one song she decided she just couldn't do it. So we went home to try and rest enough to make it back that night. It did not happen. Her fever came back and she had not been able to eat anything besides one cracker all day. She was disappointed, but it was for the best for her to stay home. She didn't get better until the next afternoon. (She puts full blame on Ostin, because he had been sick the day before.)

After the recital that didn't happen, the kids went back with Nana to Georgia. This was to give Mommy a nice little break. And it was nice. The house was quiet, I could sleep without having to check on kids, and I could read! Ahhhh!!!! Thank you to my family for putting my kids up and ferrying them around while they were in Georgia.

My nieces' birthday was also thrown in there. We went to their house for the party and had a great time. They are 4 now and will be starting preschool in the fall. And I have to say that the baby doll we gave them was a huge hit!

The kids are back home with me and complaining about being bored, of course. Looks like I need to plan some more trips to the beach and maybe a couple of movie days.
