Dums visit

I've been meaning to put up pictures for several weeks, and decided I better do it now before we head back to Wisconsin next week and get another batch of pictures. 

 Mom, Dad, and Chris came out to visit us for several days during the third week of January. It was wonderful to have them here, and I think we all had a quite relaxed time. We blasted rockets, played legos, and watched two Star Wars movies (which the boys really liked). Since then, we have checked out every lego book and Star Wars book that the library has - and Nicholas has studied them all quite intensely.

From Dums visit and rockets

Doug working on Nicholas' new rocket. This one is a two-stage rocket (meaning it has two engines) and Doug is pretty sure that it can go almost 1/4 mile high. We're not sure if we'll have the chance to launch it more than once.
