Mom & Pops & NASA

Dave's parents got off their mission back in February!  They didn't waste any time and started driving all over this fine country of ours.  We were glad to have them stop in Houston for a visit.

  Miles was in heaven.  He just soaked up all that attention like a sponge.  He loves all his grandparents.

My and Dave's hands were off limits.  Grandma or Grandpa only.

We went to NASA.  I'm sorry to say, I can't tell you to put the Houston Space Center on your bucket list.  Somewhere between expecting to be blown away by Space (warranted) and what you actually get at the Houston Space Center, it just didn't deliver.

 Here's a rocket, though.

This part was the coolest by far.  This thing is ENORMOUS.

That white rectangle at the bottom left of this picture is a door, to give a slight perspective on how massive this thing was.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your future astronaut:

Miles quite enjoyed the whole experience as there were games and other hands on things for him to check out.

Mom & Pops visiting: fantastic.

NASA: mediocre at best.  

The Monkey on my Back

I'm a finisher.  It's a good thing and a bad thing.  Right now, it's a bad thing because it's compelling me to put these pictures of the zoo up here.  But you know what?  We are all just going to have to deal with me right now.

It was cool to watch the elephants mess around:

 Buh bye monkey!

More Children's Museum

So I've only posted one other time about the Children's Museum.  I'm so far behind on pictures right now, when I saw this was what was next I was kind of dragging my... fingers (get it?  Like feet, but fingers because that's what I use when I do anything on the computer.  Soooooooooooooooooo funny.  Sorry your can't hear the super thick sarcasm.  Imagine it.) to go through them and put them up here.  But when it comes down to it, folks, I'm so glad I've kept this blog.  I may not care about this Children's Museum trip back in February right now, but someday I'm going to look back at it and be glad it's here.  So that's that.

Molecule building.  Reminds me of college.

I love the concentration/exerting effort mouth and double chin.  Too cute.

 I can't remember what he built, but it is legitimate.

Viola.  As in "Voila," but Viola.  Maybe I'll tell you the story someday.

Gotta love awesome winter weather!  Shorts and t-shirt in February.

 He promised he wouldn't soak himself...  fat chance, buddy.

Shopping, shopping, shopping.  Always such a blast.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S GOING TO SCHOOL SO SOON.
