Video bonanza

 

Kennedy Space Center!!

We finally made it to the Kennedy Space Center!!! After 10 years in Florida we got a great homeschooling deal that we could not reject (I’m all about good deals). We went with some friends who have four girls and a boy so a good mix :-)  

I should probably know more about these since we took a guided tour but you just have to enjoy the pictures and the little info I remember… 





There was a capsule similar size to this that had two seats. The Astronauts were out in space for 2 weeks in that!!!! 

They had a really fun playground. 

Part of the homeschool deal was a class. Here Rafael and Gabriel are i their class. 

In this building is where they build the rockets! It has the biggest doors in the world, they take 45 min to open. Three Empire State Building can fit in it. Each star on the flag is 6 Ft across. 

The Apollo 

The capsule (or a replica) that landed on the moon with Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins.

The “bottom” of Apollo

Watching a movie and all the kids are sitting on the floor in front of the huge screen. 

A toilet. We have learned quite a bit from our Halvan books so we knew how the toilets work :-)

One of the space trips that the Swede Fuglesang went on.

Meet an astronaut 

Artemis

Moms and kids :-) What a great day!!!

Back home and back to coop :-)

Beach visits with giant waves!!! I have a video of David going under a wave with Alex. I’ll post it soon. He got a little scarred but just needed to dry off and then go back in the water again. 

Field trip to a radiation center. They got to see the different machines and then see some Stengel x-rays. 

Checking out the ultra sound machine :-)

Watching an x-Ray with a knife in someone’s shoulder. 

Miami trip/vacation

Alex had a speech in south florida so we took a spontaneous vacation to visit farmor, uncle Cory and the cousins in Miami. We had a wonderful time with a lot of boating and sun!

Boat rides are fun!

Gabriel, Rafael and Eli tubing :-)

Gabriel, uncle Cory and Andy

The weather was too windy to go out on the boat so we went on an airboat ride in the Everglades. It was so fun!! Will add some videos soon. 












We really spoiled ourselves and went to a Brazilian steak house,  Churrascaria. Expensive but very very amazingly delicious! There was a really good salad buffet and they served different kinds of meat at the table whenever you asked for it. 





Bed time stories

Visit to Coquina island. So much wildlife (we had a hermit crab race) and we got to go up in the light house!

It was good snorkeling and David was happy to ride on my back :-)

Yes, we still have these and they came all the way back to ormond with us!

Trying to catch Iguanas :-)

 It has been a long day and David got tired :-)

Lobster hunting. Uncle Cory, Marlee and Andy did a great job being dragged behind the boat to look for lobsters but unfortunately we found none this time. 

Making cinnamon buns





On the way back to ormond even Marlee and Noah fell asleep!!
