Back in February...
So ummmm...I took at least one photo of Owen, we made Valentines, Zach and a classmate worked on their recipe for using the solar cooker (and later in May, they WON! *faint*), a turtle and a tortoise got in the way of my camera, and I went to the zoo zipline course with Zach. I am in AWE that I made it through that course without breaking my camera.
I turned 40!
A good friend of mine suggested we go to Medieval Times to celebrate my 'coming of age' haha. And she FORCED me to make princess hats and get dressed up. Oh em gee, it was really a lot of fun. So thank-you, S, for all your pushing, love and celebratory support <3 And thank YOU, Squire Tim, for being so pretty.
Adios, Discovery...Saying good-bye to the shuttle
Good-bye, Discovery :(
It was a bit bizarre, feeling so nostalgic. I wasn't in Florida for most of the big space age heyday, but I felt a loss as I watched the shuttle leave. We were lucky enough to see Endeavor's last flight back in the spring, and I'm so grateful we got to witness a closer look, feel the air shake, immersed in the awe of space flight.
I woke Owen up at about 5am so we could be in Cocoa Beach by 6am or so. He was so excited. Unfortunately, Zach had school that day, it was during FCAT week so I couldn't let him play hooky. He was pretty sad, because he is showing some bit of interest in photography and is antsy for a sunrise shoot. I met up with my friend Kathy (who has a much better zoom lens than I do) and it was really nice, having a completely different agenda for the morning...aside from the fact that I'd usually still be sleeping ;)
I also got to play with a newer wide-angle lens, which I found pretty awesome for capturing the colors of the landscape as the sun peeked up over the ocean. Owen had a BLAST. It was all so new and magical. Of course, he later fell asleep in school. Oops.
