Field Trip Day

The day started out to be a normal day in the Campbell house with some morning cartoons. We had our breakfast and Zander and I did some pre school work while Truston took a nap. Then my good friend, Anna, told me that the space shuttle would be launching from Titusville today at 2:30. Titusville is about an hour away from us and we have not been there yet but I thought "Why Not" This will be a great oppurtunity for a field trip!

We got there just fine with the help of my best friend, GPS, and were anxiously awaiting with about a million others to see the amazing launch!

I got Zander all pumped up and told him we were going to see a Rocket launch into space. He was so excited to see a "space ship".

There it is! It started as what looked like a ball of fire.

We were about 12 miles from the actual launching pad. It launched from Cape Canaveral.

There it goes.. It didn't take long for Zander to get excited about the fire and then he asked me "Mom, where are the astronauts?"

We were right on the water. When it got to this point it got really loud!

I felt like we should all be singing God Bless America or something but I refrained. It was pretty cool.

I was amazed how long we were able to watch it.

Truston saw it and got a little excited but wasn't really sure what all the fuss was about.

And it's gone...from our eyes anyway.

Then we ventured to Space View Park.

This monument is dedicated to The Project Mercury.

It was a fun adventure! Yeah for spontaneous field trip days!
