    Model Rockets

    It was fun to get the old rockets out of the basement and see them fly again. The rockets and engines were 19 years old. My niece and nephew each had a rocket they built in science class last spring that we launched too. After 20 years, AA batteries get a bit corroded and Estes igniters fall apart. We did have one of the old engines malfunction too. It is definitely safer and easier to use new stuff.

    Sprague Picnic

    Filed under: family — michael @ 7:50 pm

    We just got back from the annual Sprague Picnic. It worked out well since my aunt that lives closest to us hosted it this year, so we didn’t have as far to travel as most of the family.

    As you will see in the pictures it was a Hawaiian theme and included a carved fruit contest. It was nice to visit with everyone.
