Shuttle Launch, Finally!

The shuttle FINALLY took off...and it was a great evening for it! We just watched from the backyard though as it was the night before mom and Steph left as well as we had two unhappy kiddos that were way too close to bed time.

Crazy birds that mom made Steph take a picture of.

Yeah, they like to eat fish, swim underwater, and then air dry because they don't have oil on their feathers. Most of the time though, they just look creepy.

Faster than a speeding bullet....

A small glow of light in the late afternoon sky.

Contrails.

One last glimpse.

The view from our backyard.

And its gone.
