The five years students spend at my daughter's elementary school end with a blast. Literally.
Today was the day for the 4th grade Rocket Launch, and it really was a blast! All the 4th graders had fun firing off their rockets and chasing them down as they descended to earth with a little parachute. It seemed that the teachers and parent volunteers had fun setting them off, too, and I know the rest of the school had fun watching and screaming out the countdowns... 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...
BLAST OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked the picture of Hillary above. She was the first one to set off a rocket, and she looks about as confident as I am shooting off fireworks!
