A Saturday that was out of this world!



This past Saturday was the best ever! We spent the whole day outside! We worked on the lawn, played lots of games like tag and hide and seek, enjoyed time with Emma, and last but not least, shot off a really cool rocket!




Sean is big into outer space! He has wanted to be an astronaut for a long time and loves anything that has to do with space and the solar system. I found a great rocket that converts water and citric acid into hydrogen. It's a hydrogen rocket. We love it! It can launch 100 times off one tank. We put it right smack in the middle of the yard and then when it told us it was ready, we pressed the button to launch it. It was SO much fun! The rocket went at least 100 feet in the air each time. It was hard to tell who was more excited, the adults or the kids. :)

The rocket was so fast and my camera was so slow, that I could only catch the rocket on it's decent. :) But you can still see how high it was even coming down. I think we will be enjoying it for many Saturdays to come.
