Rocket Launch

Here are the events leading up to our first annual Anderson Rocket Launch - East Coast Division.

The countdown degins


Blast Off!


The only casualties were our 3 fallen rockets. 2 landed on top of the roof of Western Middle School and 1 landed in the tree.


They tried everything to get this one down; climbing the tree, shaking the tree, throwing sticks in hopes of hitting the rocket so it would fall to the ground but to no avail. It is a permanent fixture in the tree.


The show couldn't possibly be over, so the boys resorted to their own rockets. This is a bottle and below is a popsicle.


Boys will be boys.

We can't wait till next year. We had a BLAST!!

Looks wonderful! Seriously - we're doing this with you next year. Greg was really sad we missed it. He was looking forward to building the rockets...
