Twelfth night

Just like the tinsel and baubles, we had to pack Ellen and Megan away for another year.  They left for England just before New Year, but not before a lot of present opening, some cowboy action, and (of course) ice cream.


Part-time siblings.  "I didn't come to NASA to watch you two fight!" I found myself saying at one point, then remembered why I only had one child.


 The chaos of Christmas morning.


 Who thought it would be a good idea to buy Pete a confetti gun?  Me, unfortunately.


Quick trip to a tropical butterfly house.  


We also found a bit of the science museum we'd never seen before: chemistry in the basement.


Then we went to the moon.


NASA.  Busy.


Quick stop for nitro ice cream.


The weather took a turn for the chilly, so these were the most dangerous animals out in the open today.


 Come for Christmas, stay for the cowboys.


Yee-haw until next time!
