Rockets!

   A couple weeks ago Daryl had Avery and Harper sit down with him and pick out rockets on Amazon, so he could launch them with the girls.  Avery and Harper love rockets, ships, plane, trains, and things that go.  Daryl thought this would be an activity that they would especially enjoy.  This Saturday the weather was good, so we headed out to a special park to launch our rockets.  Aimee, Karl, and Tyler were there too.  The kids were definitely excited about the rockets.  Avery and Tyler really liked them, and helped Daryl hit the ignition switch.  Harper was a little too timid for that, and we made Emery cry a couple times because she apparently does not care for loud noises.  It was nice that kids were able to run around the expansive park; although Harper was confused that we called the place a park even though there were no slides there. She might have felt a little deceived.

A rare shot of sister cooperation.

You can't tell, but the rockets the girls selected were shaped like a pink and green crayon.

Tyler thought this water fountain was really cool and could have played with it for a long time if we let him.
