The kids and I took off the end of March on another long journey to see family. We went to AR and TX to see both sets of grandparents...and my Rachel. We all had a great time. I am horrible at taking pictures so most of them are on the way back.
First we went to see my Rachel. We climbed up Sugarloaf Mountain (or hill...depending where you live) in Searcy and had a great time hanging out. Love her so much!
We spent Easter Sunday with Tony's parents and they all got new outfits from Grandmother....they never look this good when their Mom is in charge.
We spent lots of time at mom's fishing and being outside enjoying the nice, Arkansas Spring weather....it snowed at home the whole time we were there which made it all the more enjoyable. We went to a Ladies Day at mom's congregation...I left very encouraged.
On the way home we decided to stop at a little space museum in Hutchinson, KS to satisfy my astronaut to be. If you are ever there...YOU MUST STOP!!! It was amazing. Here are a few of the highlights (in my opinion, anyway.)
Here are the boys deliberating the future of space travel in what is called the "white room." It is the room that almost every Apollo astronaut entered just before getting in the spacecraft for liftoff. Cameron was thrilled to be standing in the same place Neil Armstrong actually stood at one point.
Here Aub and Cam are admiring a moon rock gathered by the actual Apollo 11 crew.
This was the highlight for Cameron....the actual command module (the thing that falls in the ocean for those not as up on your Apollo technology as I am) for the Apollo 13 mission.
Here is the hotel pool where we stayed in Hutchinson....it even has an indoor waterpark! Cameron was very serious about appearing to be on the moon.
The kids are with my mom...who helped me drive there and back. What a trooper...THANKS MOM!
We got home in time for soccer season and Dad and I are glad to be done with it. Now onto summer camps, gardening, camping, and visitors.
My garden is planted a bit early this year...praying mother nature doesn't have one more frost in store for the year.
Tony is getting the camper tuned up for lots of trips planned this summer....including a star gazing trip to Great Basin National Park in Nevada over Memorial Day. But Glacier is going to be the absolute highlight we are all looking forward to.
Philippians 2:14-15
"Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life..."
