It is “Friends and Fun” picture day! We met up at the Challenger Space Center today out on the west side of town with some local but far away friends. The center was kind of a dud for the young kids, there wasn’t a lot to grab their attention.

Trevor thought he was on the moon in the front entry though.

The big glass elevator started behind a giant American flag, then went up four stories.

There were a few things to touch, but it was mostly hands-off exhibits and a lot of areas were not open to the public without getting the special guided tour.

There were some very nice murals on the big walls, and a giant foam block building area where Trevor wanted to stay all day, but Brendan didn’t like it and wanted to go.

We went back to our friends’ house for lots of outdoor playtime and tons of silliness.

I pushed Trevor and Olivia all around the backyard in a bike trailer. When we were done, Olivia had a bit of a static electricity problem.

We had a wonderful meal (Thanks Adrienne!!) and even managed to get all four kids to sit at the kid table for a few moments to eat! Jack had to dress up like Buzz Lightyear while all the kids worked on emptying his closet. Brendan loved it!

Brendan loved the pug named Duke. I think Brendan was doing a better job begging for the dog treat than the dog!

We brought home two very very worn out boys. They loved having play time with friends – the grown ups did too! Thanks Josh and Adrienne, Jack and Olivia for being awesome hosts today!
