This past Saturday, while Don stayed home with the little ones, Brennan and I went to Scout Camp to shoot off model rockets. I'd spent most of the day Saturday gluing Brennan's rocket together (did you know that they take FOREVER to dry and you have to hold the piece in place until it's dried?!?). I was actually quite pleased with the way it turned out~ please note though that it was a $3 model, nothing fancy~ until we got to the launch site and saw all of the other rockets. Oh well, you can't be the best at everything :)
Launching the rockets was really fun and even more fun to watch. If you've never been, you should try it sometime. The other scouts were laughing and chasing each rocket as it glided down with its' parachute, while others chutes didn't open and the rocket came down so hard, they got stuck in the grass. Brennan's rocket did 2 really good launches~ the parachutes opened and they didn't drift too far. On the 3rd launch, the parachute caught the wind and the poor rocket ended up in a tree! Brennan was so sad! So I told him that we'd do it again with his friends Fletcher and Brooks (both of whom lost theirs to a tree too!).
