A Rocket at the Park

The kids are into rockets this week (next week, who knows? singing cats?).

Joy likes watching old Space Shuttle launches on YouTube, and Daniel is experimenting with his "lateral launch" technique. Alas, the horizontal flights tend to be disappointingly short.

At the park today, Joy informed me that the jungle gym was a rocket. This bridge is the rocket bed (beds are made for jumping on, after all) . . .

. . . and this is the rocket bathroom. Joy told me she'd just taken a shower, and was wrapped in a towel.

In the spirit of exploration, Daniel is determined to go where no Daniel has gone before: up the curvy ladder on his own. He still needs a little help here and there, but he's sticking with it and getting better.

Well, enough of that. Race you to the car, bro!

(Daniel actually won the race because Joy got distracted by a tree she wanted to climb.)

it would be cool if you could come here and we could take you to see the Nasa site at Edwards and they have a museum and where you can go on old shuttles and more.
