Rocket Launcher!

We are still loving this spring/summer weather we are having here and we have been spending all our free daylight hours out side. Charlie has been showing his little brother the ropes when it comes to playing outside and yesterday was no exceptions when he showed his little brother how much fun the rocket launcher could be.

Said rocket launcher has seen better days, after all it is a year old and has spent some time outside in the elements and might or might not have been the victim of Dixie at one point. Non the less my boys were able to get the launcher to work and enjoyed some fun times together.

The set up, launch and retrieval went on for a good thirty minutes before they finally moved on to better things. There were many many laughs had by the boys while this was all going on, Coleman thought it was hysterical every time Charlie launched the rocket and Charlie would laugh so hard while retrieving the rocket. It really is a shame that my boys care nothing for each other and can't stand to be around each other! Just kidding, these boys sure do adore one another and you can just tell when they play together it is very evident!

After Charlie had finished with he rocket he decided to put it up, but one little boy just couldn't get enough of it and actually went back to get the rocket out. I am sure he was thinking I can do this myself if I only put my mind to it.

Coleman was able to get the rocket on the launcher but we never had a successful blast off, I am pretty sure he needs to watch brother a few more times before he gets the hand of it and he also will need to be able to jump more then one inch off the ground to send it flying. It looks like both my boys love rockets and a trip to MSFC in Huntsville will be in our future after all we need to show them our old stomping grounds!
