Little Bits of Love...Lennox Maximillian: Our Little Astronaut

Day one of Spring Break and it found us on a road trip to the Kennedy Space Center. We figured our little astronaut needed to check it out. Definitely a learning experience for all of us. Mama hadn't been there since she was little and daddy had never been there. We started the day with a bus tour to the launch pads. At our first stop we climbed to the top of the viewing station to look out at Launch Pad 39. At the second stop we checked out the Apollo spaceships and control center. We drove small lunar rovers, pretended like we were astronauts, and took a walk to the place where families and VIP's get to watch the launches.

At the third tour stop we checked out the Space Station, got to see how they build the pieces for the station and checked out some mock-ups. Then back to the main visitor complex to the Rocket Garden.

Later we visited the Astronaut Hall of Fame where Lennox got to run Mission Control.

And blast off in this:

Such a fun day. The weather was nice and mild. Lennox loved EVERY minute of it. He was the loudest most excited person on the bus tours and every time we got off at a new stop. And of course, we couldn't leave without this outfit. He put it on and all of a sudden he was GROWN UP. He had a new little walk and was talking space stations and moon rocks. Lots of talk about science and math and being a pilot. Part of mommy and daddy really wants little Lennox's astronaut dream to come true for big boy Lennox one day :-) It is almost bedtime and mommy is a little worried about getting this outfit off. We are planning to hang it up in Lennox's "Rocket Ship" room as he calls it.
