If you noticed in the photos from Nathaniel's birthday, he received a model rocket kit. He's had it all assembled for days however the lovely Utah hasn't been cooperating. Finally the snow and cold let up enough that we could head out to a field for the official launching.

I have to admit, it was pretty cool. It would shoot so high up that it was out of sight, then a parachute would open to bring it safely back to earth. Even Benjamin wants to save his pennies to buy one of his own. Here is a video of one of the launches, Caleb provided the introduction.
