Blast Off!

We have taken a bit of a break from any formal homeschooling but are back into it now.
Yesterday we went out to an open field to see if Mark & Jaymi could launch the rocket that they built together. It was finally a sunny, dry, non-windy day - perfect for rocket launching.
It was awesome! I have never seen a toy rocket launch before and it goes pretty far up. So far that I could barely see it before it began descending. Unfortunately, on the way down, the parachute didn't open properly and therefore one of the fins broke off. So, we launched it one more time and now it's off to the rocket repairshop (a.k.a. the garage) to be fixed and launched again one day.

Stay tune later today or tomorrow, for more info. about our current studies - we also started a big "Art Week" yesterday.
