Did I mention superheroes? Did I mention NASA being the coolest place on earth? It's like the mothership was calling me home!

Lighting Lad, Saturn Girl, and Phantom Girl strike a pose

2006-07-29T19:52:00.000-07:00

Kinda dark, but, uh....it's the space shuttle's butt.

2006-07-29T19:51:00.000-07:00

This was the first thing I saw when we walked into NASA. That's when I was pretty sure I was in the coolest place in the world. Fellow geeks - does this remind you of the Legion of Super Heroes headquarters?

2006-07-29T19:50:00.000-07:00

"You wanna piece of me?!? Now gimme that gerber applesauce, nunna that squash!!!"

2006-03-14T20:46:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is my current favorite picture!

2006-03-14T20:43:00.000-08:00

Spring Break at Brack - c'mon, who needs the beach? We've got squirrels!!!!

2006-03-14T20:42:00.000-08:00

um, maybe this way.

2006-03-14T20:41:00.000-08:00

Practicing the pose - student of the week in gym means Action Kiddo pix!

2006-03-14T20:40:00.000-08:00

Serenity!

2005-10-08T22:29:00.000-07:00

Finally saw Serenity! I'm not good with keeping things to myself, so i've got to keep this short to avoid the inevitable spoilers......it was freakin' awesome. Right around 2 hours, it was just right. There were some little tidbits from the show that made you feel like an ubergeek for picking up on them (doubtless, there were more than I spotted) but it was a completely intact movie for them that ain't ever seen Firefly.

2005-10-08T22:04:00.000-07:00

more river scenery around Gruene

2005-10-08T22:03:00.001-07:00

and here's the gnarly roots

2005-10-08T22:03:00.000-07:00

hanging out by the Gnarly roots, checking out the cool motorcycles. man, if i'd brought that vespa, i'd have so much street cred right 'bout now!

2005-10-08T22:01:00.000-07:00

Okay, you can't tell but this place is really freakin' awesome. this is the outside bar portion of the Grist Mill. A haven of cold beer and margaritas just over the river. all rustic and oh-ficially historic. maaas cool.

2005-10-08T22:00:00.000-07:00

Hey! Hey! It's Fall now, helloooo! Oh, yeah - it's Texas and still around 88 degrees.

2005-10-08T21:59:00.001-07:00

More river on the walk up to the Grist Mill.

2005-10-08T21:59:00.000-07:00

Lunch in Gruene, Tx - at the Grist Mill. Okay - it tastes and looks a lot better than it sounds. Right over the Guadalupe River.

2005-10-08T21:58:00.001-07:00

My daughter - ever the mugger!

2005-10-08T21:58:00.000-07:00

More fire truck tours

2005-10-08T21:57:00.000-07:00

hanging out with the firefighters at the EZ Reader party.

2005-10-08T21:56:00.000-07:00

"i don' neeeed no steenking tattoooo!"

2005-10-08T21:55:00.000-07:00

it's a dolphin. that's all i got. wait! they're mammals. ok, *now* that's all i got.

2005-10-08T21:54:00.000-07:00

Waiting in line for the awesome face painting at EZ's EZ Reader summer bash.

2005-10-08T21:53:00.000-07:00

More summer water gun fights

2005-10-08T21:52:00.000-07:00

In a fair fight, super soakers should succumb to the awesome might of a spider-man water-cannon-backpack. But the advantage belongs to the party on higher ground. Sun Tzu says so.

2005-10-08T21:50:00.000-07:00

You can't see the hat, but it's ....... a Shiner Bock hat. Oh yeah.

2005-07-28T21:55:00.000-07:00

Coming down the chute with Karla. Apparently she's one with the Force and doesn't need to keep her eyes open.

2005-07-28T21:54:00.000-07:00

An overview of the chute. Don't be deceived by appearances - my 4 year old thought it was perilous!

2005-07-28T16:34:00.000-07:00

"Man, we've GOT to do this again next year"

2005-07-28T16:31:00.000-07:00

A short canoe trip from the inn.

2005-07-28T16:29:00.000-07:00

This area was where we spent the bulk of our time. Floating and, uh, floatin'.

2005-07-28T16:27:00.000-07:00

A quick game of freeze tag. Really quick cuz the 3rd player had wandered off to look at a squirrel. "uuuh, Karla - you need to unfreeze me. Karla?"

2005-07-28T16:25:00.000-07:00

It only took 3 days but eventually Karla warmed up to the idea of the tube & chute. Missing is the pic where she accidentally slipped into the chute without the tube. Danger Girl!

2005-07-28T16:24:00.000-07:00

And back up the chute. Mas cool - definitely worth half day of uuuup and doooown!

2005-07-28T16:12:00.000-07:00

Walking veeeery carefully after the tube down the chute. The sign you can't read says "Rocks are slippery". No duuuh, check out my elbows & back. But well worth it!

2005-07-28T16:09:00.000-07:00

The rock wall just outside the River Inn.

2005-07-28T15:56:00.000-07:00

Clarissa strikes a pose next to the.....uh, big Pi thingawhatsis.

2005-07-28T15:38:00.000-07:00

My mojo is now at 5 bars!

2005-07-28T15:35:00.000-07:00

The Stonehenge replica also has copies of the Easter Island statues. Which look eerily like the weird statues my stepfather used to have which I scared my sister with. (Sorry, Jen - send me a bill for the therapy. ;-) )

2005-07-28T15:32:00.000-07:00

Clarissa checking out the ig, uh, Pi statues.

2005-07-28T15:30:00.000-07:00

My daughter dashing off to check it out. So cool that she's at the age where she takes her dad's word for it that "this is reeeaaaaally cooooool!!!"

2005-07-28T15:29:00.000-07:00

The Stonehenge replica just outside Hunt Texas. Waaaay cool.

2005-07-22T21:49:00.000-07:00

More easter pics. Or maybe a different year. Dang, too many pics.

2005-07-22T21:47:00.000-07:00

And the responsible adult in this setting is....egging on the kids and getting the camera ready. ;-)

2005-07-22T21:45:00.000-07:00

Look, ma! No wires!

2005-07-20T04:38:00.000-07:00

The perfect easter picture. "Why the frick is there a giant rabbit in my backyard with a basket full of eggs?"

2005-07-20T04:37:00.000-07:00

Friends, romans, coun....Dang it, where's my cookie!?!

2005-07-20T04:36:00.000-07:00

C'mere, lemme tell you something about that cool Cav

2005-07-20T04:35:00.000-07:00

The evolution begins

2005-07-20T04:32:00.000-07:00

Hold still, you sunuvva.......

2005-07-20T04:18:00.000-07:00

Check out that Bat bling! Yes, Target & Wal-mart have us riiiight where they want us.

2005-07-19T20:47:00.000-07:00

Check out that chrome!

2005-07-19T20:42:00.000-07:00

Cheesy Jane's on the last day of school.....oh, yeah!

2005-07-19T20:08:00.000-07:00
