4th Grade Rocket Launching

Flying high...

Jake's Masterpiece...

It's tradition at Utsalady Elementary for the 4th graders to make bottle rockets.  Jake dubbed his camo duct-taped rocket "The Flying Squirrel".  It didn't go super far, but it certainly wasn't the worst either.  The rockets just didn't launch as well as normal this year.  None went over the fence.  The whole school came out to watch though, so it was fun for the 4th graders!  Jake came as a preschooler and launched one with Jonathan's 4th grade class years ago.  Hard to believe it was actually his turn this year already!!!
