US Space and Rocket Center

Nobody else probably notices, but blogspot for some reason did not put some of these pictures in order, and that frustrates me.  But Oh well, Look at this great big group of fun loving cousins on their trip to the moon.  Have I mentioned lately that I always wanted to go to spacecamp...and I will go one day whether Sam or Davis or Belle want to go or not.  Always something new that I have not seen before, and this place is always fun.  Too bad it was cold and rainy, so no spaceshot for the big kids, and no mini-spaceshot for the little ones.

Sam made it all the way to the top, and even close on the 2nd level.  And while Davis did not make it too far up on his try, I was very proud of him as he has some similar height issues as me.

After the space and rocket center, the plans were to go to Schlotsky's, but with the addition of the Sartins and their high class, they wanted to go to Shoguns.  So we called Marcus, John/Seab, and Katie...and told them about Shoguns.  We then found out that Shogun closed before we could get there, so it was off to the Olive Garden...where there was a 45 minute wait...then off to Dreamland.  And it was sooooo good.  Half Rack o Ribs just about took me out of service.  

Our plans were further changed when we let Belle go home with Melissa, so that Magan and I and the boys could go to see "The Hobbit" with John and Colby...only to find out that the elitist Huntsville theater had no room for us.  After me trying to let the kids out of the door while at the same time accelerating and placing the van in park, I realized that I should not be speaking to Colby on the cell phone while learning about seats being unavailable for the theater.  Anyway, story ended well with Katie coming home with us...dropping Belle off with Granny and Granddaddy, then making it to the Cullman theater to watch the Hobbit.  Really good movie.  First time watching one in 3D.  Thank you Katie for the Popcorn.
