Sweet Redemption

Since our rocket was such a fiasco Saturday night, we returned to Hobby Lobby today to purchase redemption.  Actually, it was called The Metalizer.  It was a bright silver rocket and the packaging even read, "May require sunglasses".  Once the kids got home, we headed to a different park to shoot this one.  We chose this one for the large flat field and absence of a lake (obviously important).

The rocket blasted off beautifully.

 And returned to Earth beautifully.

Even if it did require a nice jog for retrieval.

We were able to shoot it three times (one time for each kid).  Everyone seemed to have a 'blast' (ha ha) except Holt.  He screamed and wailed everytime the rocket blasted off.  Oh well!  One day, he will love it too.  This was so much fun that we plan on continuing this as a miniature hobby.
