US Air and Space Museum

A very cold, yet fun cub scout trip. The Hall's and we took the trip to Huntsville, AL to see the US Space and Rocket Center. There was a lot to look at and some neat interactive exhibits. I really enjoyed the IMAX on the Apollo Program.


Here's Daniel in an Apollo control capsule. Can you imagine?






Nicky's playing around in the mock Space Station. They sure do a lot of neat experiments in space.





Joanna's using a simulator to land a space shuttle. No success. She crashed every time!






Jo enjoying Bella.

Daniel's a "Tenager"

A Tenager! Yes, that means 10 years old. These are actually from his birthday party in January, but as they were saved on my PC as "New house pictures," it took me a while to find them!

Daniel is quite the young man around here. He can do just about anything that Dad does, provided you show him once. He's a great helper and a tender viddle, as Nick would say. I'm never lacking for compliments and hugs. What a cool boy!


Daniel had chocolate/ chocolate cake!


So we decided to let Daniel really pick the theme for his party. He decided to have a "shooting party." So even though it snowed throughout the day, we bundled up, played dodge ball, and then had target practice. The boys all did really well!

No wimps here, it was REALLY COLD outside!
