a few days ago, the boys decided to put together the model rocket that van got for his birthday. they glued the parts together, and van picked out the colors and did the painting himself. they let it dry overnight, and they next day it was ready to launch!
we headed over to the school park so they could launch it at the soccer field, and they positioned it just right so the wind would catch it and bring it back down close to us. the rocket was equipped with its own little capsule that van decided to put bugs in. he thought it would be fun for them to take a rocket ride (the bugs didn't survive the launch). it also has a parachute that opens up so it can float safely down. it worked perfectly, and the boys ran to see if they could catch it (i tried to get a picture of it in the air, but it was too far away to get a good shot).
so the rocket launch was successful and van thought it was the coolest thing ever (dad had just as much fun)!
