Rocket-launcher

Nathan and Matthew prepare to fire their rocket

Nathan invented a rocket-launcher with the boys. They made it out of PVC pipe and valves from a tire store. He constructed card stock rockets for each child. They each decorated their rockets, then launched them into the sky over our pasture. It was immensely fun, so Nathan made more rockets for the friends who came over to play for a game night.


The men had such fun launching the rockets. Everyone would count down and yell, "Blast off!" The boys loved racing into the pasture to see who was first to retrieve each rocket as it landed. The rockets sometimes went so high we couldn't see them against the bright sky.

I love good clean fun like this! I'm so thankful for a husband who enjoys playing with our children. They absolutely adore him!
