Today was a busy day for me and the kids. School in the a.m., then home in the 110 degree heat (seriously) to swim in the pool for a couple of hours. Katie down for a 2 hr nap, then off to dance class and then home to pick up the neighbor kid and head back to Michael's school for Rocket Night.
Every year, the kids get to build a little rocket (made of cardboard tube, balsa wood fins and a small engine that stays at school until the launch), and fire them off. This year was their biggest ever, 150 rockets! They had a blast, and I will post a video when I get time. This was our first year, and it was a ton of fun. The kids were running all over the place trying to catch the rockets when they landed (they were blowing hither and yon, so it was chaotic).
I really love his school...it's a "NASA Explorer School", which means they have a partnership with NASA that focuses on all their different projects and a very strong math and science program for grades 4 & 5. Some of the teachers get to go on a zero gravity flight each year, and they do all kinds of neat projects. I think the principal has even attended a shuttle launch! Anyway, it was a great day of memories with my babies...too bad hubby was working and didn't get to see his home-made rocket launch. :-( Oh well, there's always next year.....
Sorry no video...I didn't use my Flip and my regular camcorder doesn't have plug n play and well, there's just tech issue so never mind....
