Day 177: Turtles in Tuxes

Our friend that we built rockets with has a dressy New Year's Eve party every year. Every time we're in town on New Year's he invites us last minute and we don't have any dress clothes. That's why this year Shaun and I rented tuxes to wear to the party. Classy.

Even more importantly, though, we launched our rockets this morning. It was a lot of fun and my wife put together a short video. Enjoy.

Day 176: Donatello Builds a Rocket at Applebee's

Last year we went on a trip to watch a shuttle launch with some friends. One of the friends we went with bought us all model rockets to launch while we're in town and tonight we all got together at a big corner table in Applebee's (where he works) and built our rockets. They turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.
