Rich's Rocket

This past weekend, Rich and I were sitting around the house and he was playing a little Rocket Robin in the morning. Then he turned to me and said, "Let's go get some model rockets!" So we went down to the hobby shop and picked out our rockets and paint and then came home for a day full of building and painting. This post is just going to show Rich's rocket because his is done. I'm still painting some of mine, so I'll post that soon when it's finished. So here's our day in pictures and Rich's rocket!

Rich's Rocket! (I just wanted to say that this rocket was called the Baby Bertha at the store...Big Bertha with the mommy rocket I guess, and it was definitely big!)

launching rockets is so much fun... we used to do it all the time and then wait for them to float back down. I am glad you guys are doing that, but we didn't launch it... we need to. love you.
