Can you guess what it is?

Is it a star?

A plane?

A rocket?

A spaceship?

Mickey Mouse?

Did you guess?



It's the International Space Station!!! (I know, how could you NOT guess with that great photo!)

My sister called me while she was on her way home from work and told me to get my camera and get the kids outside because she had heard on the news the Space Station was going to fly over Utah... and fast too! We would only see it for 3 minutes! So the entire neighborhood came out and we all stood with our faces facing up. We saw several planes that we thought were it, but luckily the neighbor is a pilot and pointed out to us that what we were seeing were indeed planes. Then we saw this very bright light going very fast and nothing on it was blinking... he said "there it is!!!". The kids thought it was the coolest thing seeing a real outerspace house fly over us!

After it was over we ran in the house and looked up the Space Station tracking webpage... (yes we are nerds), and it was already in Mexico!

So anyway, that was our adventure for today.
