Blast Off!

Last night, Will had a Cub scout sleep over. The boys watched a movie while they took turns making and spray painting a rocket that they blasted off this morning. All the boys were proud of their rockets, but not all of the rockets blasted off the right way. A few of the kids lost theirs to mini explosions. Those boys few pouted a bit that they didn't have a rocket to relaunch, but then they joined in the excitement of watching the others take off, and it was the explosions that made the best stories and actually got named. Among the collection of multi-colored rockets (or rocket parts) the names were Will's rocket, Caden's rocket, Eric's rocket,... the Columbia, the Challenger, and the oh-my-goodness-did-you-see-it-land-in-the-ground-upside-down-and-THEN-blow-up. That was our morning.
