It has been an annual family tradition for at least the past 10 years to shoot off model rockets out in the desert on New Years Day. This is one of the things the kids look most forward to all year long. Last year we had to find a new spot since the old one has been taken over by new development but we love the new place even better. We can take our camper out there and make it a fun weekend with the quads. The kids love chasing down the rockets and hoping they survive, most of them have even learned to ride their bikes while out in the desert, next year will be Trevor's turn! Kyle even got a little inventive this year and made a homemade rocket. I thought it just might actually kill someone but it surprised us and flew pretty good. We knew it was time to put the rockets away when he tried to send a hot dog into space! Lyndi loved the great outdoors, she had no qualms with getting down and dirty! It was fun to take her for rides on the quad, she would sit in front of me, laugh at all the bumps and sing "twinkle little star" the whole time-too cute! I'm hoping we get another weekend of camping in before it gets too hot!
