Tuesday night the boys had Pack Night. Instead of derby cars they did these rockets. The blue one is Carson's and the black one is Reagan's. They spent alot of time on them making them look so COOL and they were really excited to race them. So the whole family went down to the church with all of the scouts to race their rockets. It was obvious when we got there that some of the rockets had issues. Lawrence and I looked at each other and thought at least we are ready and our boys have their rockets ready to race. (stupid of us to think!)
Just before they started racing most of the kids rockets started falling apart as they wound up the propellers. A few were fine and they raced all the way to the end of the gym.
First Reagan brought his rocket up to race they said GO and his rocket.........did not go! He took it off and tried again and again and again same result every time. Carson was watching this so he decided to have Lawrence work on his rocket at the back of the gym to be sure that he would not have any problems. After about 15 kids went Carson was one of the last kids left to race. He hooked his rocket up with a big smile on his face and then they said GO..........it went about 6 inches. The smile turned to tears while a very mad Lawrence was trying not to swear out loud at church. After a few more try's to make them work they finally had enough and we went home. When we got home I told the boys I wanted to take 1 more picture of the rockets. I had to talk them into it because they both wanted to blow them up. That is why the after picture is of only the rockets. The pictures with Carson and Reagan smiling were from before. Just in case you did not already know that!
