Rocket Man

Uncle Scott (Kalie's Husband) came to visit for the wedding. Scott is a real life rocket scientist and Easton has been talking about rockets lately. We called Scott and Kalie a few weeks before they came and told them that Easton would really like to build a rocket with Uncle Scott. Well, Scott followed through and built an awesome rocket made out of 2 liter bottles, piping, and water!

In this picture Easton and Scott are hooking up the bike pump that will give the rocket the pressure it needs to launch. I think Scott became the 'cool uncle' with the kids this day.

Riley and I often call Easton our 'little engineer,' This picture of him and Scott (he has a masters degree in engineering) makes me believe this term is true for Easton. They are intently figuring out how to get the rocket going.

Easton is pumping up the rocket...

and blast off! The rocket was so fast that the only thing we could catch on the camera was the stream of water it left.
