Yesterday was the original launch planned at Cape Canaveral but because of a technical deficiency it was postponed to today. At 6.45AM we turned on the tv and watched the news. At 7.00AM the shuttle was launched and we were able to see it just before we left for school.
After it was launched we ran outside and onto the street and after about 30 seconds we see the rocket. Too bad it was cloudy but we were still able to see the rocket in air!
After we took Camy to school we went geocaching today, it was on our to do list from the beginning but as of yet we were unable to cross it off our list.
This is our first cache.
Bram goes into the bushes trying to find it, I remain on a safe distance, I’m so scared of spiders…
The second cache we were looking for was a little harder to find.
We also saw someone from Holland, how’about this license plate.
The third and final cache of today was a real brainer. We finally found it near the electricbox of which you needed a code. We had to test our brain but we figured it out! This was one of the better caches, different from all the others.
After school we stayed in the neighborhood because in Winter Park the Christmastree was going to be lit. This is a real happening with lots of people coming over to see all the lights turned on.
Also the entire park was decorated.
You were even able to ice-skate, which we did not do, I think we can do so next month when we are returning home.
Later that evening we got our seats and watched a movie in the park, the had set up a big screen so everybody was able to join the movie in the outside. In the end it got a little cold but we had our covers.
