Rocket Center One More Time

Before we left Alabama, we stopped at the Rocket Center one more time. And this time, Dad was able to come with us!

Over the last few times we had been then, we discovered more things we hadn't seen before.

One of the new things we found was the climbing wall. The boys loved climbing up to the top. 

And we finally made it over to the other building. This building was set up with artifacts and information about the Space Race and our trips to the moon. 

It even has a real Saturn V broken up in stages set up in the building. I'm not sure why it never launch, but it was really neat. Daniel loved it.

They had a model of the Mercury you could climb in. It had the seat for the astronaut and a lot of buttons and switches you could play with. 

They had a play area for the little ones. Josh was too big but managed to occupy himself with some tablet space games they had set up. 

We even had lunch one day under the full size Saturn V. Daniel thought this was the best part.

When Dad came with us, the boys were very excited to show him all the fun things they did and learned. We started with the GPS maze. Then moved on to the climbing wall.

They had a new display of the space chair. 

Then we showed Dad all the fun stuff they had outside, like this big engine.

It was nice getting to go with Dad because he was able to tell us a lot more about things than Mom. 

This was definitely one of the highlights in Alabama for the boys. I'm glad we found it.
