"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."
-Anais Nin
Ashlyn had a school project where she needed to take “Flat Stella” on an adventure and then tell the class about it the following week. Because we fly for free, we decided to take our adventure to the skies and let Ashlyn choose a close destination to visit. For Ashlyn, the skies weren’t high enough, so she chose to visit the Johnson Space Center (aka the home of NASA) in Houston. We saw the control room for the International Space Station, one of the last Saturn V rockets, and the mock up and testing facility. She had a good time, and I’m looking forward to taking the other two at a later date.
It was a busy work week so we didn’t get a lot of interesting pictures. However, we couldn’t help taking a few quick pictures of the kids playing a dancing game. They weren’t always in sync, but when they were it was fun to watch. Isla was really into it.
James has been very interested in reading and writing lately. I’m confident he will start Kindergarten this fall already knowing how to read and write his letters. He’s proud of his accomplishment, and we’re proud too!
