Rocket Launch

05/01/2011

We’ve had some beautiful weather here this weekend, and a number of guests had the opportunity to build and launch a model rocket! Rocket building is one of our more frequent weekend activities, and is always a guest favorite. With perfect weather and early morning sun, it was a great day for everyone to watch their creation soar into the sky.

Even if you don’t end up building your own rocket, guests often end up stopping by just to watch others launch their own. While it can be great to watch a rocket shoot up into the air, it is also quite entertaining to watch the people on the ground trying to follow the trail of smoke into the sky!

With the sun so bright, one can’t but help putting their hands up in front of them
