Does Daniel look like Rich? You decide!

A Day with Daniel

Kat's babysitter was unavailable on Wednesday, so Susan took charge of Daniel that day. He was a delight, but doesn't like taking milk from his bottle. They met Kat at work for lunch and Roxanne (Kat's supervisor) gave Daniel a talking to. In the afternoon he drank from his bottle!

Daniel likes to look at all the gadgets on his play mat.

Peach Festival

Since Rich had not seen Daniel in about a month, we went to Kat and Jason's for the day on Saturday. It was a beautiful day so Jason took us to Kreidersville to the Peach Festival at a church on a hill - with a gorgeous view of the Lehigh Valley. Daniel enjoyed the Baby Bjorn (that the Mitchells gave him) and hanging out with his daddy.

Jetty Park

After lunch on Tuesday we wanted to get some fish but couldn't because the shop was closed. Julia suggested we visit Jetty Park near Cape Canaveral, which we did. Walking out on the jetty into the ocean we could see the space shuttle on its launch pad in the distance. It was warm, but a beautiful day.

3-2-1 Blast Off!

Never expected to actually get to see a space shuttle launch, but since the launch was delayed six times, we happened to be there when they finally got it off on its mission to the international space lab. We watched the countdown on TV, then walked out the front door and watched it take off over the roof and into the clouds. The real surprise was the noise - we could hear it roar and it shook the glassware display on Julia's front door so that we could hear it rattle. What an experience - to see, hear, and feel the space launch!

TV Coverage - all we've ever seen before...
