Today we got the kids up and Chris took Clyde, Daniele and Glenn to his work at the local nuclear power plant to see what he does. Loray and I got the crew of kids up, and grown girl Andi went to school. Once the rest of the adults got back we loaded up both MPV mini vans full of kids and drove to the Everglades National Park, it is just about 15 minutes away from the house. We took a brief look at the visitor center then headed out to one of the many walking trails to look for gators. Loray got a phone call from Andi's school and she was sick, so she had to load up her crew and left the rest of us to enjoy the park some.
We took a nice walk and saw waterbirds, many gators and the diverse plant life. On our way back to the house we got some boiled peanuts (which I fell in love BTW) and then we looked into eating some gator meat (no luck) and found a place to do an air boat ride at. We wanted to do a whole family thing so we decided to wait for tomorrow to go with the rest of the crew of kids.
Loray ended up having to take Andi up the Miami Children's hospital to get a CT scan and MRI, she was having bad back problems and fainted at school from the pain medication she was on. We order pizza for dinner and Clyde and Chris took a drive to the hospital to check in on Andi & Loray. We end up caring for and putting all 6 kids to bed and enjoyed a quite PM. That night we also hear news from NASA that the new launch date is set for March 15th at 7:43 PM.
Repairs Work Proceeds - Weather Forecast is Good Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:52:40 AM EDT Repairs are under way on the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate (GUCP) interface, where gaseous hydrogen leaked during Wednesday's launch attempt. The interface then will be retested and leak checked before Sunday's 7:43 p.m. launch attempt. The Mission Management Team will meet on Saturday at 1 p.m. to review the data and the progress of the teams, and make a final determination on the launch. A Pre-launch News Conference will be held no earlier than 3 p.m. following Saturday's MMT. The weather forecast calls for an 80 percent chance of acceptable conditions at launch time. Meterologists are watching for low cloud ceilings, Shuttle Weather Officer Kathy Winters said. The forecast deteriorates for potential Monday and Tuesday attempts. The mission would last 13 days if Discovery launches Sunday. The astronauts would perform three spacewalks during the flight. Discovery astronauts awoke at 9 a.m. and underwent standard medical exams at 10 a.m.. Commander Lee Archambault and Pilot Tony Antonelli will practice landings in the Shuttle Training Aircraft at 7 p.m.
The family ready to leave for Everglades, in the visitor center theatre to see movie, Zhivanna & Akorren on the mosaic of Everglades, Zhivanna says hello to a bird friend, Akorren & Glenn check out the gator in the water.
