Cub Scouts Bottle Rocket Launch

Last night on the Hexter blacktop was the annual Pack 862 Bottle Rocket Launch.

On hand to help us out was the world renowned, world famous German NASA Rocket Scientist Dr. Farfrompoopin. He was just back from being evacuated from Houston by Hurricane Ike.

I was helping out on the launch pad.

Check out the intense look on my face. What's up with that?

It got a little bit wet doing this. Oh, and it was "Talk like a Pirate day", so I wore my skull & crossed bones shirt.

Over and over again.

Benjamin and his friend Sonny were there to watch the rockets go up.

There goes Trace's rocket! Went pretty high too.
