Ben got an awesome rocket for his birthday and it was killing the boys to see it sit on the counter while we waited for a good day to try it out. Our side of town is flat and generally pastureland and it's almost always windy. Alex kept looking out the window and telling me it wasn't windy, but the grass in the backyard isn't always the best indicator. I knew one morning when I saw hot air balloons in the sky that we had perfect weather, so we grabbed all our things and headed out to the field behind our neighborhood.
Lots of questions and investigations, and it was time for a launch.
It was so fast that the kids didn't know what to think! I should have recorded the second and third launches when they were really cheering it up but I was enjoying the view myself.
Alex got to launch it the second time and he thought it was pretty awesome.
Blastoff!
Thank you, Scott and Lou Anne, for such a great gift for ALL the boys in our family! Speed, smoke, and fire always equal a good time to these guys.
