Let me of course preface this next portion of our trip with a little back story....
A week or so before the trip the kiddo's and I went to pick up Rick from work. Along the ride the girls saw a sign or something somewhere with a rocket on it. Ava started the conversation with this statement "I WANNA GO TO THE MOON ON A ROCKET". Emma's reply was:"YOU CAN'T AVA, ROCKETS AREN'T REAL! THEY ARE JUST PRETEND ON T.V.". My response to them was to try and explain in their terms how rockets are real and about space, landing on the moon,etc. When I then tried to explain to them that their Uncle Rick works for a company that works with NASA. Well somehow they thought or got out of the conversation that Uncle Rick works for NASA and he was going to be taking them to the moon!!!LOL I'm not sure where the wires got crossed here but from that moment on, in their heads when we got to Houston, they were going to the moon!LOL
Seriously they were so excited to go to C.C's house!So naturally after, Charmin heard this story, she spoke with Uncle Rick and he took the girls to NASA to see a real live Saturn rocket! They were so excited!! It really was funny, they were following Uncle Rick all around the exhibit like little ducks! Or like groupies to a rock star!! He in a way has become quite a hero in our house! The girls were easily distracted from their questions to Uncle Rick about their "moon trip" when they heard about the longhorn cattle right outside! Why there are longhorn cattle at NASA I don't know and quite frankly I didn't bother asking because my children were truly in awe. Rockets & animals in the same place! Uncle Rick or should I say "UNCLE BUZZ LIGHT YEAR" will always be their HERO!!!
Enjoy the pics of all of the family fun before the wedding!!!Thanks C.C.& Uncle Buzz for letting us invade your space!! We love you guys!!
