Rockets...and new suits

Catchy title, huh? :O) Read on, and you'll understand.
Katie got a model rocket last week, so she and her Dad (mostly Dad) spent alot of time putting it together and getting it all set up.

They chose a place to set it up where it surely wouldn't land in a tree. There were no trees close enough. (whatever) Katie was all excited....I've never seen one of these things blast off....I tried to get a picture of take-off but it was too fast. It was gone before I knew it! Plus...it's hard to take a picture when you're squealing and running in the opposite direction. (The dogs did NOT like this....Diamond ended up in the doghouse pouting) So where did it land, you ask? In a tree. It nestled in one of the tallest trees on one of the tallest hills on our property. I never would have believed it would have gone so far so fast! Matt ended up having to cut the tree down to get the rocket. Oh well...it was a huge oak...it'll make good firewood. :O)
Ok, so there's the rocket part of the title. Now onto the new suit. Just thought I'd post a picture of Jacob in his new suit. Ain't he slick? :O)
