Greg and I were remembering that early in our marriage we got a rocket kit from Wal-Mart. Evenings were spent assembling and painting the rocket(s), and then we'd blast them off at a nearby park. We have fond memories of even having my parents and grandpa along--especially for scouring in the fields trying to "recover" our rockets after launch.
Nathan has become especially interested in "outer space" things lately. After a trip to Wal-Mart, he and Greg have been busy building and prepping our latest experiment (while Joshua does play-doh at the other end of the table feeling very important in his own "creating").
We've now launched the rocket on our own and with a couple different families. It's been a fun way to spend the evenings "out" together. Although it's often been too dark to get a great picture...finally one worked! We're pretty excited that our rocket "moment" has been captured!

HI Greg and Miriam,
That is a great action shot of the rocket shooting off. Thankfully it is good enough to compensate for not being able to see it in person.
Thanks for having us over on Saturday.
Brian and Lexie
