SBL: Cousin Time and Sabbath Rockets

Jordan and his family stopped over on their way to Nauvoo. It's been a while since they were last here. In fact, I don't think little Mac or Indie had been born yet!

We loved having little ones in the house again. 

Our train tracks have been sadly neglected.  Mac was happy to dust them off. 

Mark always brings the cool factor with a jam sesh.

We grilled up some pepperjack jalapeno burgers

and Mac enjoyed playing in our "park"

We decided we would do our Rockets and Shakes tradition while the cousins were in town. Andy built a special rocket...a double decker...just for the occasion. Mark and I went to the Hobby Yobby yesterday and picked out two rockets that took zero work. 

The first rockets were launched! The scramble ensued! Andy's rocket fired its first engine!

And then riiiight as it topped off and turned to it's descent, the second engine fired and it launched itself violently into the ground. 

Remember how long that was? It's buried at least a foot. 

We spent a couple hours launching the rockets and letting everyone try to catch one. 

Since it was Sunday, we skipped Freddy's and had everyone bring a favorite ice cream flavor to share.
