Hunter and Trenton have always enjoyed each other. Since our return to Florida, from the summer trip to Tennessee, they have really enjoyed creating different projects and being boys. This project began with some soda cans, gift wrap roll, paper towel roll, balloon, lots of masking tape, and firecrackers. I knew that I overheard them talking about this project, but had no clue it would turn out this, what is the word I'm looking for??? dangerous, creative, fun.
The last addition to the rocket was the Lego Astronaut. It made Laura and I chuckle as we watched them talk and create this. However, we told them that WE weren't going to be blasting that off. This was something they were going to have to take up with their dads. Of course, the dads thought it would be a great idea. We gathered the kids indoors and crossed our fingers as both Adam and Jaime lit the firecrackers. The blast off was unsuccessful for multiple reasons, but the boys had a blast watching the attempt of it taking off.
They were so proud of their concoction. It stayed on our patio for 3 weeks after this. Eventually the paper towel and gift wrap roll were falling apart. What will they think of next?
