Shooting Rockets in the Park

Today we decided that it was finally warm enough and still enough to shoot off the rocket we've been working on over the last couple of months. So Morgan, Emma, and I (Daddy) loaded up this morning and headed out for the park at Abel Jr. High. As you can see the rocket was hand painted by Morgan and Emma and they also helped assemble it. We had three successful launch/recovery cycles each initiated by a countdown chorus that had other picnicking families looking on suspiciously. Lots of fun!

Building Projects

I know it's been a long time since we posted; things have been pretty uneventful around here I guess. But I thought I'd present a small collection of pictures of recent building projects. Morgan has been building away with wooden blocks, Legos, and whatever else he can find. And on Saturday, Matt helped him with his first real woodworking project. Morgan called it a "dog house" for his new stuffed dog, but it's become more of a mini playhouse.
