Father's day weekend

Why have fathers day for one day when you can make a weekend out of it. That was our thinking anyway. Brent was able to take Friday off and we headed to Heber so we could spend the weekend with the Weight family. The kids had tons of fun with water fights, swing sets, the customary train restaurant dinner, lots of scoobie doo movies, penny rockets, and flying dad's new remote controlled air plane. I hope Brent did have a great father's day weekend-he deserved every minute of it! Here's some highlights.

Although this picture is hard to make out this is every cousin who was at Grandma/Papas for the weekend ganging up on Brent to soak him. Don't worry-he really asked for it and loved every minute of it. This is the second summer of the Brent vs everyone water fight and I think it has become a tradition...

This is the engineering table for the penny rockets. You roll up paper and load the tip with pennies. There were some great variations and it was fun to see the creativity (tail fins, spinning tips, cone tips) that people came up with. Papa even got into it. It was also fun to watch a few of them explode in mid air (if the tape doesn't hold or seal off the end).

Brent manning the air compressor used to fire the rockets and watching them fly. Good thing papa has a lot of open space around his house...
