Rockets

This weekend we had some fun family time out on the town and out in our field.  On Saturday we went to Visalia to get out of the house and have fun "on the town" as a family.  We went to Hobby Lobby (one of our favorite places because they have fun stuff to look at for all of our interests.  Molly got a calligraphy writing set since she has been interested in learning to write in cursive and make fancy letters.  Willy and Daddy each got a rocket to put together and shoot later at home.  

After shopping we went out to a fancy lunch at Olive Garden.  While we waited the boys read the instructions for their rockets and Molly and I had fun with her calligraphy book.

Today we had a nice lazy morning hanging around the house.  Will made some AMAZING omelets.  I love the way a few simple ingredients can make something that is so scrumptious: Eggs, cheese, broccoli, and bacon.  Wow.  

After omelets and some Wii family time we started putting the rockets together.  That took a good hour even though they were supposed to be easy enough for Willy to build.  As Will said though, part of the fun is building it...and it was.

Heading out to find the perfect spot to launch our rockets

Willy's rocket set came with 2 rockets so he let Molly have the big one. 

I love this face..."Oh, come on!"

Carefully setting up his rocket.

Molly is giving Willy some big siserly advice.  Their body language is so funny. 

Looks like Willy has inherited Daddy's concentration tongue.  

Willy had just launched the first rocket.  I love Will's lip in this photo.  He told me later that he thought Willy was going to count down or something so when he just pushed the button it caught him a little off guard.
