Rockets

(Finally, I'm caught up. Well, except for those Christmas cards I have yet to send. And I haven't read anyone else's blog for a couple of weeks. :P )

Another tradition we have is to shoot rockets with several of Jared's best friends and their families. It's a lot of fun.





Jared and Jackson setting up the rocket.















McKenna launching the rocket.











BLAST OFF!













Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the kids trying to catch the rocket as it parachutes down.






Craig's cow-themed rocket.














The parachute never deployed and his rocket face-planted a few inches in the ground. I'm amazed it survived as well as it did.





The moms spend their time chatting. Unfortunately Jen got cut out of the picture. Sorry!




It was a lot of fun. And we had a great lunch at Marc and Michelle's house afterward. Thanks Marc and Michelle!
