THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

ROCKET LAUNCH

Cole did a great job assembling one of his rockets.  He still has another one to put together, but we decided to launch this first one before tackling that project.  Just so we can learn from our mistakes.

This is the picture we took, just before the launch.  The Dustin family joined us and we had a great time.  It was a beautiful day.


Our first attempt was unsuccessful because we forgot to remove the safety cap.  The rocket stayed on the launch pad the whole time.  It was pretty funny.  So we put in a new engine and tried again.  Here's how it went. 



We launched the rocket three times and were successful twice.  It was such a great experience.  Makes me want to build more rockets with my kids.
