air zoo in kalamazoo

first - lunch at the air zoo in kalamazoo, mi

a cool parachuter as a light at the air zoo

jilly the tour guide!

we visited Cherbourg this summer! i think it's so neat to be able to say "i've been there!" our family has truely been blessed with our international experience over the last 2 years

we visited most of these places in France too!

now on to the space exhibit at the air zoo

(captured Graham reading the exhibit info in the background - Love it!)

daddy enjoys trying to maneuver around like an astronaut in space

helen gives it a try too!

jayden's turn

...... AND jillian! of course!

graham too!

me being silling in the infinity exhibit :)

i remember watching the Challenger Shuttle in grade-school

another place i can say "I've been there!" - the boys immediately recognized Stonehenge and said "hey - we've seen that!"

playing

i can claim that i have visited 9 of the 16 countries represented by these flags!

i love the expression on helen's face - she is driving our plane

Jayden is in the back plane - followed by Ross, Graham, and Jillian. Helen is riding with me.

i think this picture pretty much sums up how i felt flying around inthese hot air balloons! whee!

graham has the same feeling :)
