Family Fun

We went down to see the CRASH club launch today. They told us we could launch our own rockets with them even though we aren't members, so perhaps we'll take some down tomorrow to launch. The launch site is in a park with lots of space, so we don't have to worry about losing rockets! :)

A neat thing about attending a club launch is that we got to see all kinds of different stuff. I've read about gliders and helicopter recovery systems, but hadn't seen any until today. There were a couple rocket powered gliders there today, but the only one we saw fly was the Deltie B from Edmunds. We saw a couple helicopters fly, but the Heli-Roc was most impressive.

A little chilly, but otherwise beautiful day!


There were 6 regular model-rocket launch pads, 2 towers, and a rail.


Spencer was a little concerned about the rockets, so he stayed in the truck until about the last 10 minutes that we were there.


A family fun day requires some good pizza!
