Here are Vance and Hayden with Challenger Pilot Jon McBride
So....Vance calls and tells me that Wade told him to get out of the water because something "big" just swam by him...in the Florida waters....turns out it was a Manatee!
Hayden and Vance in the boat in the bay..they had so much fun as they rowed out a bit to explore.
The conch shell that they found...
One of their favorites...jumping off Grandpa's dock into the ocean...they did this many times and have the battle wounds to prove it!
Vance's new favorite roller coaster...The Hulk at Universal Studios
Here is the Discovery Space Shuttle..the reason they went to Florida. The launch is to be its last and it was postponed 4 times, so they weren't able to see it. If it doesn't launch by Sunday, November 7, they have missed the window and will try to launch December 1st.This is where they house and work on the space shuttle.
This is what they use to transport the shuttle.

A Week of fun memories for the Sine Family
Nana and Papa so graciously invited Vance and Hayden to go on a trip to Florida to visit Grandpa Aubel and to see the final space shuttle launch of the Discovery. Wade decided it was too fun to pass up, so he went too! They had a terrific time at Busch Gardens, Universal Studios (Harry Potter!), Kennedy Space Center, the pier, ocean swims, shopping at the base and fun meals out! Unfortunately, the shuttle launch was postponed everyday for different reasons and they were unable to see the actual launch, but they did visit the Space Center and saw it on launch pad 39A!
Grandpa even surprised the boys on Halloween morning with trick-or-treating pumpkins, treats, and lots of surprises. He went all out to make the trip so fun and memorable for the boys. It is a trip they will remember for a lifetime. Vance and Hayden had the best time together! So thankful for such generosity!

Here is Daphne...she is our newest addition to the family. She is half Shitzu, half cockapoo. We got her the last weekend in July! She has been a fun, adventurous puppy. Bella was such a mellow puppy and even more mellow as an adult dog, so she has added some spice to Bella's relaxing little life! We adore her and all her antics! Especially the sock stealing, ribbon snatching, shoe swiping......

Mary Poppins
We went to see Mary Poppins in LA with Nana and Papa! We had a wonderful time and then went to a great restaurant called Barney's Beanery afterwards. Drove down Rodeo Drive and passed UCLA too!!!! Makenna LOVES musicals and really appreciated all the singing and dancing! A great afternoon for sure.
