NASA Rocket park and Tayta

We went down to Houston last weekend to see my parents and let Ricardo have some time to get work done before the semester started. Xaris knows that her Gramama works at Starbucks, and now she knows that her Tayta works with the rockets! She has been pretty interested in space stuff, so I asked my dad if he would like to take us to NASA's rocket park on Saturday morning. Xaris did pretty well, she was very interested and chatted about the space ships and patterns and moon rocks even though some of the rockets were a little intimidating (they are kind of huge). On the way home to my parents house, plus the whole drive home to Dallas she kept saying "thank you for the space rockets!" and "thank you for the moon rocks"...which means she was really impacted by the trip! I had fun with hipstamatic on my iphone, and some of the pictures turned out pretty swell!

Here we are!!

Tayta explaining what was what...where the people go etc...

Some of them were touch-able!

I love this--her hair was in braids all night, so when I took it out and made her ponytail in the morning, it was kinking out all over the place! too cute.

This was part of the tunnel that the astronauts would walk down in order to get to the rocket.

We listened to what they sounded like when knocked upon...

Did I mention how HUGE the rockets are?

Thanks again Tayta! It was a great visit!
