Space Shuttle

We took a trip to Disney in 2004 when Amy was about 7 months pregnant with Adam. Before our Disney stay began, we went over to the coast to stay at Cocoa Beach for a few days and visit NASA. On the way out of NASA, Emily started begging for a space shuttle toy set. We resisted, but she said that it was really for her baby brother. We ended up giving in, and Emily enjoyed the toy for a few months.

Low and behold, that toy has become one of Adam's two or three favorite things. The cargo bay doors, the rudder, and a few other parts are missing, and some others have been glued back into place. After putting him down for a nap today, I was reminded of a picture we snapped of Emily on the day we bought this toy.

We are headed back to NASA next January, and I think it's time to purchase a replacement model.
