We launched model rockets last night. It was "awesome". That was what Eli said all night and continued on into the morning. It really was fun. The kids each built their own rocket that I helped with. And of course I had to build one for myself. It was as much fun as I remember as a kid.

It reminded me of my first launch as a kid. I remember Gunga and Apopps being there. So, Mom and Dad laid out a blanket. There might have even been some picnic food. We got everything all set up for the launch. We didn't know what to expect, but we weren't prepared for how quick the rocket left the launch pad. I think everyone expected a slow lift off like the Space Shuttle.
Well, I did the count down, hit the launch button and the rocket took off with a ppfffsssstttt. Right into the sky. We also miscalculated the wind. So, when the chute deployed, the chase was on. I had to run and run and run to chase that thing down. By the time I got back to the family the car was packed. What a memory.
