Blasting off a Rocket!

McKay got a rocket for his birthday, so over the

Thanksgiving holiday weekend, we went over to

the school field and shot it off. All the kids

that were there thought it was pretty cool

and McKay had a good time with it as well.

McKay, Uncle Jeff and Cousin Eric trying to get the fuse

into the rocket. I ended up accidentally gluing it shut when

I was gluing a part of the rocket back on. They eventually got it

unstuck and got the fuse in.

McKay and Uncle Jeff setting the rocket on the base and

hooking up the wires.

blast off the rocket. All the kids were counting down.

The rocket right before it took off. After it took off

the kids would run after it and try to catch it.
