5...4...3...2...1 BLAST OFF!!!!


A couple of months ago we booked our hotel room on the Space Coast, 
in hopes of getting tickets to see Space Shuttle Atlantis' final launch.  

As you all know we have added to our family since then. 

We contemplated not going, 
but hated to disappoint this cute little guy.
Sooooooooo we ventured out (and prayed ALOT).
(we did NOT have another child, that is Nick's "Space Shuttle" buddy Gabe)

Nick and Gabe in deep discussion about today's agenda.
Maddie and Lyla LOVE their new stroller (they became well acquainted on this trip)
 
Checking out the mock shuttle (this is where they keep the satellite)
The boys in the mini spacecraft (Gemini 7)
 
  
Closing the hatch
Waiting patiently
 The girls made it through with lots of snacks.
The Lortons
The Edwards
 
Us (the girls are still strapped loving their stroller)
Getting ready to count down!
Lift OFF!!!!
 
So happy!
We hung around Kennedy Space Center waiting for traffic to die down.  
It took us about an hour (a LONG hour) to get back to the hotel, 
but once we got there, ALL were happy!
 

A perfect end to a great day!
