Blast Off!

My dad (known to my monkeys as GK) bought Owen a model rocket kit with engines for his birthday in May.  It was raining on his birthday, so we couldn’t launch the rocket, and have been away for awhile…

But today we assembled the rocket and the launcher and went out to “The Blue Park” to set it off.  Of course, as with any trip to the blue park, we started by inviting the monkeys’ Godparents, Nana and Doc.

First Daddy explained the safety rules… 

Then, 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 .. BLAST OFF!

 

Oops.  Thanks, Doc.

Owen had three engines with the rocket, so we were able to launch it three times.  I think we will be going out for more engines in the near future…    Owen says, “Thanks, GK!”

I had to include this photo of Jack and Nana  just because it is so cute.  Jack’s first real connection with Baby Carlisle.
