Rocket Launching

Saturday, the boys and Nathan discovered a new hobby. I am actually surprised they didn't discover the joy of ignition, launch and rockets blasting in the sky much sooner. It was a great time for Nathan and Isaac especially.



Aaron wanted it to be a great time, but having several run-ins with getting burned, he is usually less likely to be in the middle of something that has to do with fire and small explosions. So he sat in our car with the windows up and doors locked during the rocket launches.



He says he is ready for it next time, though.


In the picture below, you can see Aaron right in front of the man with the boys scout uniform. This is our friend and assistant cubmaster, Jim. Isaac is holding a rocket right up to his face and so he is partially blocked from view and squinting as well. He is behind the boy rubbing his eyes. Nathan is not pictured because he was messing with the third rocket he wanted to launch. There is nothing like waiting til the last minute to do things.

Sounds like a fun day! Hope Aaron gets over the fear of getting burned.
