Dawn launch and some other stuff

NASA launched the Dawn mission this morning. Here are the ever exciting pictures.

Dawn is an Ion propulsion system spacecraft that is going to travel 8 years to go study asteroid belts.


Our favorite space nerd , Greg McFly Fissell, was one of the lucky peeps who got his name listed on the Dawn craft. You could sign up online while it was still in development.


A couple of nights ago Melissa and Jen went on the "countrified" bike ride down the dirt road Volco and out Cow Creek Rd. I drove out to take pictures of them riding their bikes, but missed them on the dirt portion, so here they are on Cow Creek .


This road has a high speed limit of 50 mph but there aren't many cars on it.


And finally, on Monday night Sophie didn't want what everyone else was having for dinner so she got a ghetto pizza. She ate 2 bites of that and then switched to eating some of Mom's nachos. That was a first time for any of the kids to eat nachos and she says she likes them. we have a hard time getting the kids to use their brains about food. It doesn't matter if the girls all like sausage and they all like pizza. None of them like sausage pizza. This was the first time we were able to get one of them to understand... You like beans, you like chips, and you like cheese. You like nachos!!!
