| one of Sophie and Abbie's favorite things-a kiddie ride (they rode this a bunch of times) |

Abbie is conducting some space experiments on a space station |

Last Saturday, we decided to head down to Huntsville to visit the Space and Rocket Center. We have a membership at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville so we could do most of the exhibits for free in Huntsville. Sophie had a unit about space at school so we thought the girls might enjoy at least parts of it. It was a beautiful day! When we arrived at the Space & Rocket Center we discovered that it was pretty busy because they were having these Moonbuggy races. Many colleges had brought teams to compete in racing these self-made moonbuggies. It was kind of interesting to watch them. We decided that overall, our girls were a little young for a lot of what they had to offer at the Space and Rocket Center but they did enjoy the kiddie areas a lot. Their favorite area had a kiddie ride that went up and down bouncing as it went, almost like the adult version of the ride. The girls rode it repeatedly!
Sophie enjoyed learning a little more about launches to the moon, etc. There was a lady there who let our girls try on the special boots that astronauts wear when they are walking on the moon. They were pretty heavy!

So fun! I had no idea they had kid stuff at the Space Center. You know Jason is just counting the days until Joshua is old enough to go. :) Ha! Glad you guys had a good time!
