Rocket Man


Just wanted to let you all know I finally have a new post on my blog, so check it out when you get a chance. Things are good and busy. Jacob got 2nd place in the Space Derby at scouts last night! He can't wait to show you his trophy, Dad! He also got 3rd place for best over-all design. His rocket was pretty cool. "Meteor". We didn't bring the camera to the event, so I didn't get a shot of his huge grin. Well, I better get to my chores! Have a great day!

Nice trophy!! We never got to do a space derby. Is it rubber band powered?

Nice looking rocket. Apparently Jacob learned a lot from our experience last year. Way to go!!!

So proud of you, Jacob! Can't wait to give you and the others a big hug when we visit this week!

Who is "the Patriarch"? Dad or Brandon?

Shelli said...

I'm assuming it's Dad, but didn't know if Brandon used that name for his family...?

'The Patriarch' is Dad. He was here to help me and Jacob make his rocket last year. Brandon was on a business trip. Brandon is actually in Denver right now, but gets home tonight, late. He was able to help Jacob with his rocket this time, though, and I helped with the paint. It is rubber band powered and attaches to a glider on fishing line. It is the best race, I think, vs. Pinewood and Regatta. I love all these comments!

Very cool, tell Jacob congrats. I've never heard of a space derby, but that sounds really fun!

I figured the Patriarch was dad, but got thrown by him saying they learned a lot from their experience last year. Didn't know Dad had helped him.
Cool paint job!!
