Rocketman! Part 2, The Launch

Trying to find the right spot to set up the launch.

Found the spot and now to prepare for the launch.

Setting up the remote control to set the rocket off.

Attaching the controller to the igniter.

Backing up!

After several times of counting down and trying to shoot it off. No pictures of the first launch, I wasn't prepared.

Emma's turn to shoot it off.

Recovery mission.

Benjamin's second and last try. We only had 3 engines to use so this was it.

Love Benjamin's reaction :)

Rocketman! Part 1, The Assembly

 For Christmas, Drew bought a rocket for Benjamin. Finally, after 6 months, we finally put it together.

Putting together the stand.

Benjamin being Benjamin :).

Safety cap.

Reading the instructions.

"Bummer, we don't have the plastic cement. We'll have to wait until another day to finish."

"Let's try a dry fit."

Got the plastic cement. Rocket assembled.

Blowing it dry.

Stay tuned for part two of Rocketman, The Launch...
