Grandma G comes for Henry's first communion.

Grandma G made the trip for Henry's first communion. A big thanks to Grandma G for changing her
plans multiple times due to COVID and sickness at our house, but we finally made it work!

We took Grandma G for a walk on our newly fixed up trail near the Ranche as I had to touch up some
stain on the pressure treated wood we used on our retaining wall.

Henry, Grace, Logan, and Walter at our church before mass.

Since we had to arrive a bit early for afternoon church, I thought I'd run these two a bit more
so they weren't such nuts during church. This is our garden area.

Walter and Logan being funny guys.

Henry and I had built a rocket this winter and we had been waiting for the right day to be
Launch Day. We got a nice day in early June and decided to give it a run. Henry quite enjoyed
measuring out the right distance so that we could use some basic geometry to figure out the
altitude that the rocket reacher.

Full size
After the first launch, the kids LOVED chasing down the rocket with its parachute as we had a successful
launch and retrieval.

Rocket Launch #2 went ~567 feet
