Model Rockets–a Tradition

This has become a tradition in recent years. Mike worked at a summer camp when he was young and one of the camp activities he was in charge of was model rockets. Now we like to do it about once a year. It’s good fun and the kids love it (well, the kids that don’t think it’s scary!).

This day we rushed out after a big storm, but before sunset. It turned out to be perfect. The wind was hardly blowing and it was gorgeous out.

In the past this girlie did fine. This time she decided it was too loud for her. Aunt Wendy to the rescue.

Trying to catch the rocket and parachute as it falls. I think most of them were caught this year. So fun!

As the smoke blew into the field I had Sweet N run out of it toward me. Cool effect, eh? Oh yeah… I’m a professional. Ha!
