Lots of friends, fun activities.. Rocket Launching, Water Balloons, Pizza and Hot dogs, and a generally good time. All the images are "clickable".
First, you have to build your rocket (from a 20 oz soda bottle). Fins optional. | |
Everyone has their own theories on what the best design is.Tyler certainly feels strongly about his. | |
Final preparations are being made as Sam's dad clears the launch area. Looks like Summer and Melissa are going for a dual launch here. |
Looks like Carrie is filling her rocket with fuel, while Sam's dad prepares a launcher for Julia |
Here's Alexia and Carrie preparing a rocket for launch, as Sam and her Dad look at the next pad. Julia retrieves her rocket after landing. |
A pause, the rocket builder pushes the launch button ... Ty getting ready to fill, Summer holding the button, and Ryan runs down range to retrieve his last launch. |
And everyone looks up in the sky to see how well this one did. You can see the vapor trail on the right side. |
There was judging and prizes for appearance as well
as performance

Aww, Mom, do we have to leave now?? |
