Back in the USA!

Finally home in the US!  YAY!  A hot,  hot Florida day.  

One thing we loved about Lego land is that everything is made of Lego or looks like it came from a Lego set.  Like these horses on the carousel.  

We saw this sleeping knight getting a surgery

.

There is a whole Lego world.

Jousting.

Lego driving school.  

R-Man got a ticket for reckless driving.  

Hanging with Emmet and Wild Style from the Lego Movie.

On the way to CB we stopped to get some candy. 

We thought there was goat milk ice cream, but there wasn't.  Only fudge.  So we got some to share.  Except then we forgot to share it and brought it back to Korea, where I ate most of it.

Pooks riding a horse at Auntie Sherry's barn

R-Man, too.  He only went one lap. 

Kennedy Space Center.  To think, both of these kids were born so close... 

These are the fuel tanks and solid boosters for the Space Shuttle Atlantis.  Can you see us standing at the bottom?  And these are just the FUEL TANKS!

Inside you can see the actual Atlantis, but from all of the pictures I took of it, this is the best one.  The rest just don't do it justice.  

Before, this was off limits, but now since the shuttle program retired, you can take photos.  They even slow down the bus! 

The Apollo program is one of my favorite parts of KSC.  Those guys had to be CRAZY to get in that little tin can of a think and go around the moon!

 I get nervous just thinking about our TV, and adjusting the antennae with that weird dial thing,...

I mean, this was the TV?  And your trusting some guy to blast you to the MOON????  

But they did it!  

You can actually touch a piece of the moon.

But you still have to wear these stupid glasses to watch something in 3D.  Really?  They can send a guy to the moon and they can't come up with something better than this?  

We also got to listen to this guy, Mike Mullane, a real astronaut, talk about his trips to space.  He wrote a book called Do Your Ears Pop in Space and 500 Other Surprising Questions about Space Travel.  He was really interesting and was not at all embarrassed to talk about pooping in space, and showering in space, and telling us if you can send yourself into a vortex by sneezing repeatedly in space.  

Would you ride in this?  

Then we got to visit with family.

Celebrate a birthday.

Had the 4th of July.

Went to a fashion show.

Had a cupcake war.

And a large from Goldenrod's and our summer was over.


Phew.  Next year we are taking it slow, and hitting Goldenrod's at least TWICE!



Thanks for  making our summer AWESOME!  We wish it went slower and that we had more time with each of you.  We also need to get out the camera when we are with PEPERE, because the only picture we have of him is this one...

and this is NOT how we want to remember him!  xoxoxo
