Maddie Dean Photography: On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer… on ENDEAVOUR!

Even though it snowed in Houston last night, Santa didn't change his schedule! The Space Shuttle, Endeavour, took a quick flyby over Ellington Field and JSC today while on it's way home. It landed at Edwards Air Force Base on November 30 and hitched a ride today on the back of a modified Boeing 747 to head back to Kennedy Space Center. I was able to see this several years ago while at McMurry when the shuttle took a quick stop at Dyess AFB but it was pretty fun to see it again today with Aiden. He was pretty sure that it was only an airplane though. Each time Mike tried to tell him shuttle he'd argue that it was a plane! It was a bit chilly though, so Miss MJ enjoyed the excitement from inside the car. After it was over, Aiden as his dad had a quick snowball fight. I still can't believe there was actually snow in Houston. There wasn't much left but it was enough for Aiden to have some fun! Oh, one of the coolest things about today was speaking with Ms. Simpson from the Houston Chron. She gave me her card and asked that I email her some pictures. She gave her card to a few others out there with bigger gear than mine, but hey, a girl can dream right? How awesome would it be to get published in the Chron??
