Summer So Far


So far this summer we have spent a lot of time at home and a lot of time building rockets. Saturday before Fathers Day we participated in a rocket demonstration out at Miller Motor Sports Park for Clark Planetarium. We thought it would be a lot of fun but it was kind of a mess. It was very windy and the location they had us launching took all of the rockets over the fence. Kelly ended up climbing the fence to look for other people's rockets and walked over a mile to get back in. Of course I didn't take pictures I really need to get better at that.

Saturday was the monthly launch out at Pony Express Test Range. The weather was great. The boys launched several rockets. We also had some neighbors come out and launch and that was very fun. I know that rockets will continue to be a big part of our summer.



We have spent a little time at the pool and enjoying the summer weather. We look forward to more summer time activities.

Disneyland

Last week my parents took my boys to Florida for the week. Kelly and I decided to take a road trip and we ended up in Southern California. We spent most of our time in Disneyland.
One of Kelly's favorite rides in Disneyland is It's A Small World. Every time we have gone to Disneyland we have to ride it at least once. We spent parts of five days in Disneyland.
On Wednesday we went to the beach. We ended up at Newport beach first. We walked out on the pier and watched them fish for a little bit. We also laid on the beach and walked through the shops.
Then we drove down to Laguna Beach. This beach had a ton of seaweed all over it. We did walk down and look at the tide pools. This is about the only picture we got of the two of us together. We had a great week. It was really nice to spend time together just the two of us.
