So the coolest thing we saw was the shuttle take off on Saturday night. It was the first night launch since Columbia. The picture below doesn't even begin to show how spectular it was. The whole sky was bright and it looked like another sun rising. The greatest thing - we just watched it from our front yard! On our local news station, we got to watch the video camera that was on the booster rockets. We got to see the shuttle lifting away from the rockets. It was so amazing!! I hope they showed those videos on CNN or FOX news so everyone could see it.
The weather was so nice this weekend so we went to the zoo. At our zoo, you can feed the giraffes. It's very fun and my favorite thing to do when we're there. You can hold the cracker out from its mouth and see how long you can get his tongue to be! Here is Matt & Sydney trying to pet the giraffe.
Sydney is starting to get her bottom teeth. We can feel the little bumps coming up. I've heard they can get the bumps but then the gums close back over them only to reemerge later. So we'll see if she actually gets some teeth out of this little adventure! I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend like ours. I can't believe Christmas is 2 weeks away!

Thats very cool, from your front yard. Here, we cannot even see more than a dozen stars, with all the "light pollution" and high-rises. And its definately NOT zoo weather, 30*F-40*F. Looks like you had fun!
