It’s a bird! It’s a plane!

Nope, it’s a rocket. A kid’s rocket that needs lots of adult supervision and NO Russian Olive trees.  They have spikes that can destroy.  You guessed it.  Our first flight sent the rocket into one of the Russian Olives.Fill the water container.Pump, pump…and pump!  (And check the wind direction!)It’s off!And over the trailer, into the trees.  Boy was the wind direction wrong!It had a huge tear down the side (which we did finally fix.  Have not flown it again.)  We decided to try a balloon.  It worked!  Sort of.Ready to go!Blast off.  And up.  But not too far.Hopefully soon we can try the original again.  When the wind is right.  It was cool.  Oh, we looked for a replacement rocket.  Not luck – yet.
