Bottle-Rockets

Justin came home from school one day and said he wanted to build a rocket. He had seen the fifth graders shooting off their bottle rockets, and he just knew his daddy would know how to build him one too! Of course, Neal is a sucker for putting a big giant smile on his kids faces, especially when he can be the inventor! So he spent most of a Saturday morning a few weeks ago building a contraption to shoot the bottle rockets off, and before we knew it, Justin was pumping a bike pump and shooting plastic bottles 100 feet into the air! And he had grin from ear to ear! And so did everyone else watching, it was pretty fun!

I think Neal gets the award for "coolest dad ever!" That's awesome. How fun!

Those are awesome shots! I'm bummed we never got to see the bottle rockets. Guess we'll have to wait a few months!
