5...4....3....2....1...














Prelaunch picture. Sadly, I do not have any pictures of the rocket. It was at this point that John decided that the batteries in the launcher device thing were dead. So, I sacrificed the batteries in my camera for the good of NASA's future rocket engineer. It was great! You shoulda seen it. It went up, up, up. Not so high that we couldn't see it. And then it started the descent. Coming down, all eyes on it, biting our nails waiting for the parachute to open. And it did, just like it was supposed to. It was falling so gracefully....into an opening....and....and....O_N_E gust of wind and it's in a tree! OH, we were so mad! Every rocket we have purchased up to now...4....have all disappointed us. But, we are heading in the right direction. The last 3 we never even found. At least we know where this one is. If you happen to know the Jolly Green Giant, would you please let him know we could use his help.














Emily is trying to invent chocolate lipstick. I think it'll be a big hit!




And....the biggest news of all. John's new hair. He was getting worried that his hair was thinning, so he bought some online. I think it looks very natural. What do ya'll think? He's so proud of it.

A rocket scientist is a good way to secure your retirement! What great fun for the guys. Is that your house in the background? I love the new hair John, it is so you?! Can I get some of that for Len?
