NASA

We had a fun time visiting the space center just outside Houston.

With his bathroom-talk obsession, Declan especially loved the replica of a "space toilet." Funny, funny stuff to a 4 year old.

Taking a good picture of all four kids? Impossible. I don't even try anymore.

Waiting in a long line to take the tram tour of NASA. It was the coolest part of the day and worth the wait, even though Garreth and I definitely appreciated it way more than the kids.

We had several stops along the way. My favorite was mission control. Very cool.

We also stopped at the place where the astronauts train.

Grace said that after visiting here, she is "about 10% more likely to become an astronaut when she grows up."

Waiting for the tram to take us back to the visitors' center for the kids' favorite part, playing on a huge McDonalds-like play space structure.

Flowers for Mom - awwww!
