Rocket Launch

Hahn joined Ed this year for the big rocket fest that happens every year. Ed has had the hobby for awhile of building his own rockets, it's really quite perfect for him, it combines science with pyrotechnics. ;) With some of their earlier experiments, Sam and I used to joke that if their rocket didn't leave the ground - then it was technically just a bomb. (oh dear)

Every year the group that Ed is in has an Oktoberfest - a big rocket launch in Northern Colorado. This year Hahn went along to help and I went up for a day to watch. It was actually quite fun to see all of the people that enjoy this hobby and many of the rockets are quite impressive. I can just see, in a few years from now - the boys with our little kiddos really having a great time doing this together!

Look! Sam's helping! :)
