The More, The Merrier

Ryan and Cousin Shannon

We love hanging with family and had an extra special visitor waiting at G'ma's when we returned from Houston! Ryan's cousin Shannon from MN came to visit! We were so excited to meet her. She is super sweet and we had so much fun visiting and getting to know her during the family dinner on Friday. She has nieces and nephews so Shannon had no trouble humoring us with stories about our kiddos. On Saturday, we went to a yummy breakfast with the whole family and then to the Space Center of Houston. Caden and Charlotte had so much fun! We toured the Astronaut Museum which detailed many different suits and astronauts. We took a train to view the Mission Control Center. Also, we saw a rocket from the Saturn series called Saturn V. Funding fell through and it is now residing at the Space Center. It was very cool. As you would imagine, security is very tight and there are cameras everywhere. We could have spent all day there because there is so much to see and do. But it was time to say good-bye, so we could put the kiddos to bed early, since they basically missed out on nap-time. Sadly, our camera died before I could get a picture with the whole family. Next week, Shannon begins seminary in New York. Between that and planning her upcoming marriage to her fiance, she will surely be busy. But we plan to stay in touch and look forward to another visit with her again, soon!
