Last night...I got to go to a ROCKET LAUNCH (after mom promised it wasn't a trick so she could blast me straight to the moon!) Holden built a model rocket and was excited to shoot it off. We went up to Holden's school and made the field our launch site. Here I am waiting...
OH...those dudes are Justin (one of Holden's buddies), Holden and Daddy (Kevin).
Here is a close up of Holden and his buddy Justin.
He's a very cool kid and makes mom laugh!
Roger, Houston, this is Launch Director Salinger...final launch sequence check and go-no go...HOLDEN: We're go for launch! DADDY: Roger, we're a go! JUSTIN: We are go for launch! Final launch status is confirmed....Stand by for final ignition....5....4....3....main engine start.....2.....1.....and liftoff of Captain Holden's first mission into space!
NO! I wasn't scared! Come on mom!!!!
Next...Holden had a little plastic rocket that was powered by baking soda and vinegar. It took several attempts (from EACH of us) to make it work, and our car will be smelling "fresh and confident" (hahaha!) for weeks because it kept exploding on us!
Daddy discovered the cool "burn mark" on the launch pad of the big rocket!
Thumbs up to Captain Holden and his crew Justin and Daddy!
Daddy is ready for another rocket mission after a trip to Hobby Lobby for more rocket engines!
Happy Hump Day everyone!
