One of the most fun things we received for Christmas this year was a couple of model rocket kits. Noah and Daniel each have one.
I think what made this the perfect time for this wonderful gift was the landscape in SE Washington. Here in SW Oregon, we'd have to make a real effort to find a place to launch rockets where they wouldn't be lost in trees and bushes and behind hills.
Our front yard at Jubilee was a golf driving range and there were essentially no trees in any direction for at least half a mile. It was PERFECT for rocket launches. We enjoyed many!!
The folks at the Ranch were very interested in the rockets, too. Several of the precious folks there came up to the house to get a better view as the boys launched. The students there even wrote an article about it for the school paper. It made Noah feel like a celebrity!

I thought I'd just jump in with some very old news and photos and see where things go from here... I know it's a little strange, but bear with me!)
Even though this is old news for you, it's NEW to me!! Glad to read it!
