Space Center Houston

McCall and Eric sessions are our good friends from College! We used to go on dates together before Bruce and I were married. Since then we have planned trips together and they are one of the few families that have ventured to Omaha for a visit...big bonus points for them! They have 3 awesome boys:Cayden, Brady, Colton and don't forget Brynlee, their darling girl. While we were visiting them we were able (thanks McCall) to go to the Space Center Houston! This was a great family outing and the kids were in high heaven! Here are some highlights!

"Houston we've had a problem here!" I have one DAREDEVIL of a daughter! Brighton propelled herself to new heights and even did back flips!
Here she is walking a tight rope!
A picture of Brooklyn where she is actually looking at the camera. (One of her new tricks is to look away from the camera!)
I have no pictures of Easton because I couldn't get him out of this... He was having to much fun shooting balls at asteroids with an airgun!Besides all the fun activities, Imax, and Space Living presentations, we went on a tour to see the mock-up's of the Space Station, that the Astronauts use to train in and solve problems here on Earth. These are exact replicas of the Space Station that rotates the earth every hour and forty two minutes.
Caden, Easton, Colton, Brady and Brighton!
Space Shuttle!
We ended the day with some Astronaut Ice Cream! Thank you McCall and Eric for the fun day...it was out of this world.

Looks like tons of fun - and throw in a bit of education, too! We hope to visit there when we head to Texas next - maybe we can talk Knudsen's into meeting us for our own friend's vacation! I think the friends we made before all the kids came along know us even better - not as many distractions when we got together back then!
