What an amazing day we had to shoot off model rockets! The sun was shining; the park was free, and the excitement was palpable. We joined our good friends, the Schoollands (and their Uncle Hans) to have some fun for boys of all ages. Andrew probably ran a couple of miles with all the rocket retrival that he and Jack did. For the first time, Kat was able to stay out and play while the rockets were "bursting in air" instead of huddling in the van. Sipping hot chocolate keep us warm when the wind got chilly. We spent hours shooting off rockets, repairing rockets after less than stellar flights, trying out a mentos/soda explosion, and more!

| I love this picture: there was only one rocket involved but it appears to be on the launch rod and in the air at the same time! |

| This rocket has a story of woe to tell. Somehow Lloyd and his dad were able to keep giving it new life. (It just kept getting smaller and smaller. And more and more fun to launch!!!) |
