We decided last minute to go to Huntsville's Space and Rocket Center for a quick get-away. We thought the kids would enjoy the rockets and a pool.
Leanna's already excited and this is just the rest stop in AL.
Landon likes to get down and dirty checking things out. I think the whole trip he was more interested in picking up pine cones in the parking lot, leaves in the pool and sticks on the ground- what a boy!
Landon didn't want to pose in front of the pretty backdrop. Leanna's always up for a pic.
Leanna decided to try out some rock climbing at the Space center. She did a really good job and had fun with this new adventure.
My favorite astronauts!
Nathan flying a rocket- ha!
Posing on the equipment- Landon had so many buttons to push, knobs to turn and switches to flip he was in "boy heaven". Usually we are saying don't touch that--- but there was plenty to touch and play with at the space center so I think he had fun.
Look at those long legs. She fit great into all the capsules and had long enough arms to be able to reach all the controls as if she was a real astronaut!
I used to think I wanted to be an astronaut! Once I climbed into this space capsule I decided teaching was probaby a better choice.
We enjoyed fireworks from our hotel balcony that were happening at the space center. The rockets made a great back drop for the bright explosions.
Landon enjoying the fireworks too! I think he enjoyed the pool too much and was worn out before the fireworks began. I didn't take any pictures at the pool, but we had a great time splashing around.
