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!
