From October

My father and grandfather came into town for the festivities. We took the opportunity to take a 4 generation picture.


Maybe the love of wheels is in our genetics.

So we made this water bottle rocket launcher. It was really cool.

The kids all decorated their own bottles. They were excited to become "Rocket Scientists!"


So here is one getting pressurized with air ready to launch. There is also water in it to act as a propellant.
We would launch them and get wet while all the kids looked on as their rockets reached for the tops of the trees.

One of us spotted the bottle while the other tried to not get hit.
Isn't that what every 5 year old boy wants to do for their birthday?

Looks like an explosive party. I would want to do it for my 28th birthday party.

I'm glad your family could share it with you. I'm trying to convince my parents that they want to come here for Jack's as our weather will be fabulous.
