School's out for summer!

Last day of Intermediate School - Notice t-shirt: "Class of 2014"



Last day of Elementary School

Just the last day of school



































































Oh, the books they read!




We were just finishing lunch yesterday when I asked Leighton how his book ended that he'd been reading the night before. He told me he couldn't really explain it so he ran into the house and grabbed the book. Before I knew it, Rich and I were sitting for the next 25 minutes listening to the last four chapters of Marvin Redpost - Why Pick on Me? For those of you who have not had the opportunity to read this book or listened to it on tape, the entire book is devoted to poor Marvin being picked on for "supposedly" picking his nose. We actually had a few laugh out loud moments. All in all, what better way to spend 25 minutes of a lovely Sunday afternoon than listening to and laughing with your almost eight year old reading a book about nose picking.

IndyMoorlachs have a blog!

















Three of America's future - "What will they be someday?"



Don't mess around in Jurrasic Park!












The end of a long, fun day at Epcot.





Okay, okay I guess it's time for the Moorlachs in Indy to step into the techno age and begin a blog for our family. It's something I had thought of doing but just was never inspired. Thanks, Hilary and Kate, for the inspiration!

The pictures above were taken two weeks ago while in Orlando, Florida. Rich had a conference for work and we all followed him down for a little fun in the sun! After the conference was over on Wednesday we stayed and did three parks (Epcot, Univeral Studios, and Kennedy Space Center) on three consecutive days. Can we say "crazy"? Everyone had fun and made some good memories, but I think the thought of standing in another line anytime soon could quite possibly be the end for any of us. As we were leaving Kennedy Space Center, the last stop on our whirlwind tour, I reminded the kids that the next time they visited would be them bringing their own children for a visit. Was that me speaking or my mother?? KSC was very interesting and we just happened to be there on the same day that Discovery came back from space. Talk about perfect timing! We heard the sonic boom as it reentered the atmosphere, but we were unable to see it actually land. We did get to see a glimpse of Discovery later in the day.
