The Rocket
The last couple of years, we started a family tradition of making rockets and lighting them off during the family easter egg hunt. Our previous rockets varied from four to twelve inches high. This year Devan decided to take it to a whole other level. Our rocket this year stands 4 feet tall and 4 1/2 inches in diameter. It rockets to an impressive 3,500 feet up in the air.
We will be lighting it off this Saturday in Draper...hopefully. The weather conditions will have to be perfect, i.e. no wind, and no low cloud cover. We also will probably try and go to a park to light it off. If something were to go wrong and the chute were to not open...lets just say...I hope it doesn't land on someones car, face, or little dog.
I will let you all know how it goes next week. Wish us luck and clear skies!!!
