Pa Haslam gave Gavin a rocket kit complete with igniters and extra engines for Christmas. Gavin went out with Christopher and Bear one day and sent the rocket soaring a few times but they were nearly frost bitten and came home.
We had some temperatures in the low 40's (winter heat wave) and the snow melted and we once again too advantage to get outside. Gavin had his friend Tommy over for some rocket action!
We took it down the block to the school field and sent her flying once again.
Gavin and RipTide!It went over a thousand feet into the air! The boys were in heaven!
The boys ran around trying to be the one to catch the falling rocket with parachute.
For their last ride (we ran out of igniters) they sent it sideways.It planted itself a little more than an inch into the ground and blew up! The rocket was fine and it was fun to watch. Immediately after this the boys just had to go to Hobby Lobby and get another mini rocket, more igniters and engines. I think Gavin's found a new hobby. Thanks, Pa!
