Preston & Rockets

After staying the night in Nibley we headed up to the other end of the Valley for Handsome Hubby's family reunion in Preston, Idaho (before you ask, yes that is the town of Napoleon Dynamite fame, no he was not in the movie - his high school locker was, yes he grew up on a dairy farm, but no... his dad is not the guy who shot the cow in front of the school bus kids. I thought I'd let you know since everyone who finds out Handsome Hubby is from the Preston area, or as we like to say the suburbs of Preston - his town is much smaller :) - wants to know about Napoleon Dynamite. All we can say is, that boy did put Preston on the map.).

It was a fun reunion - so fun, in fact, I forgot about taking pictures. Actually, I spent most of my time holding Junior - so I didn't really get a chance. However, the food was delicious, company was great, OTG Boy and The Professor spent hours going down the water slide and Handsome Hubby enjoyed playing in the pool with Bubba. You know Handsome Hubby enjoyed himself because he didn't realize he was getting the sunburn of his life - he was red for about a week... yikes!

6-4+1-1=2
What does this mean?

The boys were very excited about launching rockets at Grandpa & Grandma's House.
We arrived with 6 rockets.


4 disappeared - never to be seen again.


Everyone and their dog tried to find this one - never did.


Had so much fun, Handsome Hubby bought 1 more fancy rocket to play with.

Grandpa had so much fun he found out Handsome Hubby could buy more engines in town - so he did.

We had 1 last rocket break.

In the end
2 rockets survived.
OTG Boy and Handsome Hubby both have rockets they can take back next year!

Here's OTG Boy during one of his launches.
(sorry it's sideways, but I don't have software to switch it around right now)

Here's The Professor launching his rocket.

Everyone had a lot of fun!
