Houston Part 3

So...the journey continues....On day 3 we went to the Houston Space Center. After the road construction and faulty road signs, we finally managed to make it to the space center. As soon as we parked the car though, Lindsey announces that she peed in her carseat. Great, I didn't bring any extra clothes. So we use our not so trusty GPS to take us to a Target....only when we had "arrived at our destination" there was NO Target or anything around to get replacement clothes. We finally found a dollar store...oh yeah, love those dollar store clothes! So I change Lindsey and sit her on a towell in her car seat and we head back to the space center. Haiely waits until we are on the road to announce that she now has to pee. So I tell her she better hold it until we can find a bathroom becasue I was not stoppoing to buy clothes again! We find a fast food place and I rush her in and we rush back out and manage to make it ALL the way back to the space center parking lot. As Hailey gets out, scott notices her pants are WET!!! Seriously?! Well, apparantly I rushed her in and out of the bathroom so fast that I didn't notice she had already had a little accident and since I had said I wouldn't stop again, she didn't tell us so she wouldn't get in trouble. Well, even thgough I said I wasn't going to stop again to buy clothes, in reality I wasn't about to drag her around all day with a wet bum. SO....we leave again, this time hoping our GPS would lead us to a WalMart. Due to the oad construction and detours, the GPS got thoroughly confused, at times not even thinking we were on ANY road at all. AFter much driving around, we Lindsey...I had learned you could never be too sure...and then realized that Old Nave does not sell Undiees in Hailey's size! I really was done driving around and we had spent half of our day trying to find clothes for the kids, so I tried to just make her wear a pull up. She was not happy. Then I remembered we had brought our swim suits becasue we were going to head to the beach after the space center, so she traded in the pull up for the swim suit bottoms. AT LAST we are on our way into the space center and had a really great time. The kids loved playing in their play center (I loved that we drove half way across the country to go to the Houston Space Center and watch my kids play on the play equipment). We did get to see some pretty cool stuff though and I learned about VADs in a video there (Harry now has a BiVAD in place, so I thought that was pretty cool). We had time to take one shuttle and see one extra place and Kaylin picked the underwater training facility. This is where the astronauts train for their missions. Under water is the closest thing they can get to weightlessness for long term training. After we left the space center we drove to Galveston where after on blurry picture, my camera battery died. So I missed out on some pretty cool photo opps with the houses on stilts and some hurricane damage and the girls playing on the beach (for 5 minutes because we took too much tim finding replacement clothes earlier in the day...luckily I picked up the extra outfit for Lindsey as she had no self control and was SOAKED from the ocean!). We ended our adventure by eating at a seafood restaurant where we had to wait much longer than Scott would have liked, but the food was AWESOME!!! Even Kaylin decided she liked the Tilapia! The adventure ended late that night with the 2 little girls hanging out on Aunt Gail's lap. They loved being with her and Lindsey called her Grandma the whole time! (Are you getting sick of our Texas trip yet 'cause it's not over yet! Stay tuned for the exciting finale coming soon!)
