Pictures & More

I promised you spring break pictures and boy do I have lots of pictures.  I've picked out just a few for you today so don't worry.  LOL!

Here are our babies on Easter Sunday:

I was taking pictures of just the kids but Miffy is not one to be left out so she crashed the party.  LOL!  Yes, we did have a wonderful Easter.  We went to church and then spent a quiet day at home with family.  It doesn't get better than that.

Here's one of my brother, Rick, feeding the kangaroos at Busch Gardens:

and one of my mom scratching a wallaby:

Later in the week, the guys and our daughter went to Kennedy Space Center.  Here's a picture of my nephew, Ryan, Ilaria, Rick, and Bryce with Endeavor in the background.

Can you tell where I'm originally from?  Yep, in the shadow of Notre Dame.

Here's another picture of the same four people underneath the bottom end of a Saturn V rocket. 

It certainly gives you a different size perspective; doesn't it?  The Saturn V rocket is still the largest and most powerful launch vehicle ever brought to operational status.  It is the not only the largest in height and weight but in the amount of payload it can carry into space.

And here is the view they had for the launch:

We still have hopes of seeing one in person in spite of the expected crowds of more than 750,000 people.

As for the recent news in Pakistan,  I am ever so proud of and grateful for our troops and praise God for them.  Unfortunately, though, I know our prayers for them and for our country are still needed.  The fat lady hasn't sung yet.

Until next time, Happy Creative Time!

Nice looking family! Too bad the launch was scrapped - hopefully you can get there when it does go up. I agree about 'the fat lady' but it sure was a boost to be able to say our boys did it!

Great Pictures!

As far as the other news. I still worry for our country and pray for all the soldiers still serving across the seas as they are not home safe yet.
