We have been trying to get to Uncle Marc's house for a long time now, and finally made it up to Huntsville while he was not snowboarding in the mountains or playing on desert islands. Marc has done an excellent job working on the house he bought...definitely not something I would ever even attempt. I found a really comfy chair of his...and...zzzz, zzzz, zzzz... OK, I'm back. After not wanting to take us to some Vietnamese place he likes, he decided to take us to a Mexican restaurant that was really good. We all told Marcus goodbye and then decided to go to the Rocket Center.
I love the Rocket Center, and really just any excuse to take the kids to a museum/science center/place where Magan can't make us work. :) We only had about 1 hour for this visit, so we decided to skip all that history boring stuff, and jump right to the attractions. They had a new maze that the kids liked alot, then the Mars Rover was ridden multiple times. Sam and I ran out to the Space Shot which we rode twice shooting us up way in the air. I have a video of this that will be great if ever I decide to make an actual video that the kids can watch. :) We ended our visit in the Space Shuttle park, which we NEVER have seemed to come over to...not much here, but the kids loved climbing and running around this park area.
On our way out, we ran down the sidewalk all the way to Pluto...which was a scaled down version of the solar system, but still a long ways off from the Sun which is at the welcome center.
And what did we find in Decatur, but 4 big eyes watching out a door looking for their cousins...That was funny, Ben and Luke were just staring out the door as we pulled in. And our crew was happy to come in and play with them. Sam and Luke were finally able to bond, even if Luke did want to destroy Sam's castles each time he got them built. A very long day, but fun to see all the family we don't get to see enough...and the Rocket Center.
