Spring Break Day #2-Out of this world

Wednesday we headed to the MS/LA state line for our Space Day! This space center is where they test the engines for the space shuttles. I didn't even know MS had a space center! We met our tour bus at the MS Welcome Center. Since we got there a little early we had a picnic, looked at the moon ship, and chased pigeons! I loved this part of the day. I watched the kids chase the pigeons for awhile. C and MZ had a plan to tag team one. C came at it one way and MZ came from the other way. Well the pigeon flew at MZ's head, he screamed like a girl and took off running! Of course C thought that was the best part.


The tour bus picked us up and drove us around the 30,00 acres facility. They showed us the testers, the boys loved this. We were dropped off at the visitors center of the facility. We walked around and looked at all the exhibits. They had a space ship that the kids "drove" and a temperature camera. They had moon rocks and moon trees and anything spacey you can imagine.


To end our day we went to eat with Daddy at The Shed. Very interesting restaurant! They had this guy walking around doing magic tricks.....the boys watched with all enthusiasm! He pulled things out of his nose, made things appear out of peoples ears, and made balloon figures!


*just a side note* As we were leaving, Daddy and I noticed a truck with a sign on it that said "C&C Pimping Service" didn't really know what to think about that! Ha!





Day 2 of Spring Break was out of this world!!


The space ship made of legos! They were very impressed with this!

Chasing the pigeons...C took the net because he decided it was a good idea, I can only imagine what would have happened if they would have really caught a bird!
