Michael and his dad had a campout this weekend with cub scouts. They made rockets and shot them off at the campsite. Here's Michael sitting with the other scouts (and one or two of the scouts's sisters), wating to shoot off their rockets.

Michael and his rocket.

That's a twenty ounce bottle and a two liter bottle with cardboard fins all duct-taped together and spray-painted.

Shooting off the rocket had something to do with this rope that Michael is about to pull. I wasn't there and Jeff, exhausted, is already asleep tonight. So, I don't know how it works, but trust me that it shoots the rockets really, really high.
